Loved this book! Owen Laukkanen is now official lone of my favorite authors. The book is written in fairly short chapters - over 90 in all - and I think that makes it even harder to put the book down.

The story follows four friends who are having a hard time finding decent jobs. They concoct a two-year plan in which they kidnap rich family guys, contact the wives requesting a ransom that will be easy for her to come up with (but still worth it for the kidnappers), and then return him unharmed upon payment. It all goes pretty well until they pick the wrong target.

There is no slow part to this story and the ending does not disappoint. I definitely recommend - enjoy!
