Summary

Do rich people get preferential treatment in criminal cases? The world is not a good place anymore. That's just how it is. “I have your son. Don't call the police. If you do everything I say, I won't hurt him. I will call again.” Adjutant Enzo Ariefdien prefers murders. Dead victims. He doesn't want to hold a missing life in his hands, much less a child's. But that's exactly what he gets and it's also a kidnapping for ransom. A high-profile case with the desperate American parents on one side and the ambitious Captain Lubambo on the other. And everyone wants results. Meanwhile, the negotiating team moves into the family's home in Llandudno, Adjutant Karla Blanckenberg in the role of primary negotiator. At the mercy of the kidnappers' schedule to make contact - to break - she can only wait and that's when the little hand with the red hole continues to harass her. The kidnappers clearly knew the family's routine. But was the family being watched from the outside? Or from within? And why does it sound like there is something more personal behind the kidnapping?
