by Mary Higgins Clark When Steve and Margaret Frawley return home from a black tie dinner in New York, they find their baby sitter unconscious and their three-year-old twins, Kathy and Kelly, kidnapped. The kidnappers leave a note demanding eight million dollars ransom. The Frawleys are unable to meet that demand, but Steve's firm, a global investment company, agrees to pay the ransom. The kidnapper, identifying himself as the "Pied Piper," tells them that upon receipt of the ransom he will reveal the girls' whereabouts. But when they go to the car parked behind a deserted restaurant they find only Kelly in the car. The driver is dead from a gunshot wound and has left a suicide note saying he had accidentally killed Kathy and dumped her body in the ocean. The family is devastated but there are unexplainable occurrences which indicate that Kelly is in touch with Kathy. Margaret finally convinces the FBI that Kathy is alive, and the search for her becomes desperate as the contact with Kelly indicates that Kathy is very ill. The situation is complicated by the kidnappers, who double-cross each other, and by one of the kidnappers, a mental case who jeopardizes Kathy's life. This thrilling tale of suspense makes the reader feel what a mother feels when her three-year-old twins are kidnapped. Its theme is a parent's worst nightmare... the abduction of their children. The work of the police and the FBI in their search for the kidnappers is given top praise. The story is engrossing, nail-biting suspense with a mixture of murder, kidnapping and telepathy. Much information is given about the phenomenon of twin telepathy. This is a fast read with a riveting conclusion. |
