The Kidnapping of Aaron Greene

Summary

Nicholas Sparks, celebrated author of The Notebook (RB #95082), describes Emmy Award-winner and fellow bestseller Terry Kay as "quite simply the finest writer in America today." Kay's trademark rich characterizations and language are fully on display in The Kidnapping of Aaron Greene, a riveting page-turner charged with ethical and social dilemmas. Aaron Greene-a shy, 18-year-old mail clerk for a powerful Atlanta bank- disappears on his way to work. It is unclear why anyone would kidnap Aaron-he has no enemies and his parents are neither wealthy nor powerful. A ransom note appears demanding 10 million dollars for Aaron's safe return, but there's a twist. The money must come from the bank, which is none too eager to pay. This gripping thriller probes deep into America's moral fabric and asks the heated question: What is the value of a human life? Narrator George Guidall flawlessly conveys the profound questions explored by this thought-provoking tale. Readers may also be captivated by Kay's Shadow Song (RB #94492).
