amazon/The-Perfect-Kidnap-Jeffrey-Kho-ebook/dp/B00AL8Y27I A van carrying 10 school children, belonging to wealthy and influential families collectively worth over a billion dollars, is hijacked in broad daylight in the capital of the Philippines. The kidnappers soon announce an unorthodox staggered and escalating ransom bidding system with the threat of executing the last two unclaimed kids. This forces the parents, which several wealthy expats, powerful politicians, and influential locals, to use their resources and connections, to try to outwit both each other and the police. The perpetrators gradually reveal their knowledge of intimate details of the victims’ families and friends and use these to avoid surveillance. But they also gain the trust of the remaining parents by releasing the children one by one unharmed and well fed while steadily feeding their fear they will follow through with the executions. This further compels the families to cooperate with the kidnappers instead of the authorities, who are forced to play catch up at very turn and twist while the clock slowly ticks away.
