0451177045 From School Library Journal nYA-- Donald Stanley, always considered a loser, is determined to become a winner-- but the trouble is he plans to excel at the game of ransom and hostage-taking. His victim is 36-year-old Jean Stockton, mother of 3 teenagers and wife of a successful businessman. Abruptly, their world changes as their tormentor puts forth the rules of his game in order to collect $250,000. He insists on the aid of an accomplice, Mona, whom he bullies into doing some of the riskier steps in the kidnapping. Stanley is an abusive character, and both women are victims of this abuse. Because of the violence, some YAs will find parts of the book unsettling, but it is indeed secondary to the plot and characterizations. Readers who enjoy adventure will find this thriller enthralling.
