Billion Dollar Ransom

<p><b>It would take a perfect plan to collect a billion-dollar ransom.</b></p><p>So here’s the plan.</p><p>Five innocent people. In different locations. All kidnapped at the same moment in time.</p><p>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.</p><p>A billionaire wants his family back.</p><p>The cash, gold, jewels, crypto are all ready.</p><p>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.</p><p><b>_________________________________</b></p><p><b>PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON</b></p><p>'No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.' <b>LEE CHILD</b></p><p>'James Patterson is The Boss.
