THE PARTNER
A VIOLENT ABDUCTION. FOUR HOSTAGES. NO LEADS.
Two gunmen burst into the packed boardroom at an exclusive city law firm. Lawyer Maddy Kramer watches in horror as they snatch a popular partner and his young trainee.
Hours later, a tape is couriered to the offices. It shows the trainee, Charlotte Dempsey. She’s been brutally beaten. Her face is badly swollen and there’s a cigarette burn on her chest.
Tied up next to her are two more trainees from the same firm.
Detective Jake Carver leads the investigation. When he finds out Maddy is involved, he’s keen to get her sharp insights.
Then the ransom demand arrives. Time is running out.
But this isn’t just about money. The kidnappers know a shocking secret that could destroy the firm — and everyone who works there. And they’ll stop at nothing to get what they want . . .
Perfect for fans of M.W. Craven, Nadine Matheson, Jane Casey, Robert Galbraith and Janet Neel.
