Ben Lopez spends his life travelling the world, bartering with
people who value money over life. Working for governments, law
enforcement agencies, multinational corporations and private
clients, Ben is an expert KR Kidnap and Ransom consultant,
supplying professional kidnap-negotiation services. He can be
called out to anywhere in the world within 24 hours notice to set
up and command the negotiator''s cell, bargaining with religious
fanatics, hardened criminals, and other desperate people in order
to save the lives of their captives. Alongside a shadowy team of
former spies and special operatives, his arsenal of psychological
techniques is just as powerful as brute force. He''ll spend as long
as is necessary to get the job done. And then he''ll disappear. This
extraordinary book reads like a thriller - but for those involved
in the stories within it, the drama, and the tension, is very
real.
