Author Spotlight: Marked Money

It is a warm, sunny Saturday in Bellview, Massachusetts, when Kevin and Maria Sanderson receive horrifying news--their seventeen-year-old daughter, Jenny, has been kidnapped. Left with nothing but a typewritten note that asks for a million dollars in return for Jenny, the Sandersons feel they have no choice but to pay the ransom. Despite the kidnapper's threats, the Sandersons enlist the help of the local police and the FBI, who devise a plan to catch the kidnapper at the time of the ransom drop. The kidnapper, however, outsmarts the FBI and makes off with the ransom money--without releasing Jenny. Suddenly questions begin to surface about whether Jenny was really kidnapped in the first place. As the police and FBI try to unravel this mystery, a number of suspects and possibilities emerge, including a teenager from a neighboring town, the leaders of a prostitution ring, a family friend, and a runaway girl from another town. In this gripping, fast-paced thriller, unexpected twists and turns in the investigation into a young girl's mysterious disappearance ultimately lead law enforcement to the surprising discovery of what really happened to Jenny Sanderson.
