It would take a flawless plan to demand a billion-dollar ransom—and someone just pulled it off. In a perfectly synchronized operation, five innocent people are kidnapped from different corners of the country: two children from a private school bus, a famous couple from a secluded resort, and a billionaire’s wife right off the streets of Beverly Hills. The message is clear: pay up, or lose them forever.
The ransom is ready—cash, gold, jewels, and crypto all stacked to meet the kidnappers’ demands. But FBI agent Nicky Gordon isn’t buying it. Brilliant, relentless, and fiercely independent, she refuses to play by the criminals’ rules. She has her own plan, and paying isn’t part of it.
As the clock ticks and the stakes rise, Nicky races against time to outwit a ruthless mastermind who always seems one step ahead. In this high-octane thriller from global bestselling author James Patterson, every second counts—and one wrong move could cost lives.
