Description

In the space of 32 hours, the children of six billionaires are taken off the streets of London in a well-planned kidnapping. The perpetrators demand 25 million per hostage. For 'expenses'. Not ransom.

And when your child goes missing, you need Charles Boxer. A man who will stop at nothing. The wealthy parents of the missing children know that Boxer will do more than the police can, but that doesn't mean the law will leave it to him. Soon the investigation goes beyond the corridors of power and into even darker corners.

But still nobody knows what this mysterious kidnap gang ultimately want - and, if they have a cause, what the hell is it

Reviews

Gripping - LITERARY REVIEW

Robert Wilson brings all his talent as a supreme thriller writer to bear in the tightly-plotted, fast paced, addictive page-turner. - BITE THE BOOK

You will be reading for your life - SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE on Capital Punishment

Like most of Wilson's novels, this one occupies the shadow territory between the crime novel and the intelligent thriller ... it's dark and powerful stuff. And the ending has a kick like a horse - Spectator on CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Fast-moving and breathlessly exciting, this is the first of a series to feature Charles Boxer from award-winning author Robert Wilson - Irish Independent on CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Wilson is a master thriller writer and he proves it again with his new novel ... If you haven't read Robert Wilson before, the Charlie Boxer series is a great place to start - BITETHEBOOK.COM on You Will Never Find Me

The London kidnapping is typically well researched and replete with strong characters, it can't compete with the more visceral allure of Boxer's search in Madrid for Amy and revenge - SUNDAY TIMES on You Will Never Find Me
