King's Ransom, Paperback/Ed McBain

When a wealthy businessman is faced with a kidnapping, the ransom could ruin his biggest deal ever--unless Detective Steve Carella can find the culprits before the kidnapping turns to murder. "McBain has the ability to make every character believable--which few writers these days can do." -- Associated Press "McBain forces us to think twice about every character we meet...even those we thought we already knew." -- New York Times Book Review
