In the tradition of P.D. James and Ruth Rendell, to whom L.R. Wright is often compared, the suspense in Kidnap stems not from whodunnit but why. A young girl is taken from her aunt's care while her father is in Hawaii trying to recover from his wife's sudden death. A middle-aged woman, spurred on by an unscrupulous accomplice, tries to assuage her feelings of loneliness and despair with a dramatic act of revenge. Edwina "Eddie" Henderson, battling to assert her authority over the Sechelt's RCMP detachment following the retirement of beloved Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg, urgently tries to put together the pieces of a mysterious psychological puzzle in time to find the missing girl.

It's midsummer in British Columbia, and it's hot. Murderously hot, as RCMP Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg finds when his day at the beach with his ex is cut short by the discovery of a fresh corpse. And back in Sechelt, a nuisance call from an eccentric redneck swiftly leads Alberg into a psychological Gordian knot and a second crime a decade old.

Redneck Herman Ferguson is unkempt, unpleasant, and possibly dangerous. His long-suffering wife wants nothing to do with his assortment of caged wild animals, concentrating instead on feeding the kids and dodging blows. But Herman has it in for another misfit--a mumbling elderly woman who lives alone with innumerable cats. And the wife, well, she has it bad for Bobby Ransome, a muscular, charismatic high school dropout and ex-con.

In her masterful style, award-winning author L.R. Wright weaves a chilling tale of jealousy, gossip, and the tangled affairs of young men and women who loved one another long ago. And she shows once again why her mysteries have been praised as "every bit as good as the novels of Ruth Rendell and P.D. James" by People magazine.

A mother's plan to reunite with her daughter after a seven-year, self-imposed exile from her family is sabotaged, when she is found murdered. To find the killer, Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg of the Canadian Mounties must probe the sad, shocking truth of the dead woman's past.

Gordon Murphy doesn't look insane. But he is. He doesn't look dangerous. But he is. He doesn't look like a murderer. But he is.

Murphy has been looking for the perfect woman since he turned forty. Now that he's fifty, he thinks that Cassandra Mitchell fills the bill. The fact that she is living happily with RCMP Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg is completely irrelevant.

While Muphy plots to ensnare Cassandra, Alberg is preoccupied with a rash of crime on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast. An epidemic of bizarre robberies, an unpleasant young couple who are snatching their children back and forth from each other, and a drug-related murder all distract Alberg from the deadly menace that threatens his lover.

If Alberg doesn't act soon, Cassandra is about to become Woman Number Five in Gordon Murphy's murderous history
