For a wealthy businessman, a kidnapping puts him in a predicament as troubling as any he has ever experienced. For Detective Steve Carella and the men at the 87th Precinct, their troubles are even worse. Their only hope is that he will play ball -- at least long enough for them to catch the perps before the kidnapping turns into a homicide.

Ed McBain delivers another rapid-fire nail-biter in his 87th Precinct series with King's Ransom, a morally complex weaving of friendship, personal responsibility, and the nature of man hailed by the Daily Mirror: "McBain spins the tightest tale in town... there's nobody who does it better." King's Ransom was made into the major motion picture High and Low by acclaimed director Akira Kurasawa.
