Billion-Dollar Ransom

It would take a perfect plan to collect a billion-dollar ransom. So here's the plan. Five innocent people. In different locations. All kidnapped at the same moment in time. Two children taken from a private school bus. A film producer and a movie star grabbed at a hideaway resort. A beautiful wife whisked off the streets of Beverly Hills. A billionaire wants his family back. The cash, gold, jewels, crypto are all ready. There's only one problem: Stubborn and brilliant FBI agent Nicky Gordon also has a plan. And she doesn't want to pay the kidnappers. Not a dime. _________________________________PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON'No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.'
