The Abduction (A Kramer & Carver Thriller)

Kramer and Carver are back...

Madeline Kramer has finally got her life back on track at top City law firm Sullivan, Blake, Monroe. But when two armed, masked men burst into a conference room one lunchtime, kidnapping inept trainee, Charlotte Dempsey, and popular head of litigation, Richard Barker, Maddy's life is plunged into disarray once more--particularly when charismatic DCI Jake Carver, who caught a heartless killer when they last met and with whom Maddy shared a mutual chemistry, is called to the scene.

Things become more complicated when a disturbing video reveals two more trainees, Matthew Gerard and Stephen Baines, have been taken. What initially appears as a random kidnapping for mercenary gain soon evolves into something far more complex, the horrifying events of thirty years ago motivating the abductors and having colossal implications for those in the present...

Against a backdrop of sleaze, sex, lies and murder in The Abduction, Maddy and Carver must work together to unravel the truth, and ensure that no crimes--past or present--are left unpunished.

Praise for The Scribe: 'A fast-paced tale of murder and mayhem set against the backdrop of high-end legal London, a mystery in which the reader is kept guessing until the end. A promising start - I look forward to more!' - Peter Murphy, author of the Ben Schroeder legal thriller series, and the Judge Walden series

'As potent as potassium cyanide, The Scribe is a wildly entertaining, one-of-a-kind, legal-serial-killer-thriller, sure-fire smash hit' - Rob Parker, author of the Ben Bracken thriller series

'A first class legal thriller which will keep you turning the page well in to the dark hours...Procedurals take great skill in constructing so that they don't become manuals with lots of instructive narrative. Chaudhuri gets it just right...Great job, and highly recommended' - Roger A. Price, ex-DI and bestselling author of the Badge and Pen series
