Books with title Kidnapped

Since being freed, Chloe's version of events, along with some of the stranger circumstances of her kidnapping have driven the press into a frenzy of doubt. Chloe has been called a liar, an attention seeker and judged by us, the public at every turn. What Chloe has gone through is not trial by jury, but trial by media. But Chloe is determined not to be a victim and in Six Days she will revisit her terrifying ordeal and shed light on this disgusting version of modern slavery which goes largely unreported because of who the kidnappers target. Finally given the chance to tell the truth, this is her story in her own words.

After his father dies, David Balfour is told to go to his uncle for his inheritance. But the uncle has no intention of letting the riches go-so he plots to kill Balfour, ultimately arranging for him to be kidnapped as a slave bound for the American colonies. Balfour's future looks bleak-until he witnesses a shipwreck and befriends the lone survivor, a rugged Highlander named Alan Breck Stewart. Together, they plan their rebellion-and the fight back home to claim Balfour's inheritance. Spirited, romantic, and full of danger, Kidnapped is Robert Louis Stevenson's classic of high adventure.

Truckers, bikers, murder, human trafficking, and the kidnapping of a beautiful woman merge as explosive ingredients in the third novel of the series. Private investigator, Jake Bodine, battles a major cocaine distributor and a ruthless motorcycle gang in a struggle to save Anastasia “Ana” Perez, the abused widow of a recently murdered criminal. Ricky Perez, Ana’s husband, made many missteps in his life. The last one, which led to his death, was the theft a substantial sum of drug money from his employer and an attempt to place blame on a band of outlaw bikers. The ruthless cabal behind Ricky’s murder assumes Ana knows where he hid the missing cash and sees kidnapping her as the only solution to their loss. She must turn the money over or reveal its hiding place. Failure to do one or the other will result in her spending the rest of her life as a heroin-addicted prostitute to repay them. The police have no suspects in Ricky’s murder, other than Ana, who has no knowledge of Ricky’s affairs, criminal or otherwise. As Jake peels back layers of the crime confederation, he too becomes a target of their wrath.
