Kidnappers' Moon — J.P. Hudson

When Paul awakes, he finds his world reduced to a small circle defined by the sweep of a chain tethering him to an eyebolt. Boredom turns to horror when he learns that he will not be alive to celebrate his eleventh birthday party, whether or not the ransom is paid. People who love him are powerless to do anything but meet the kidnapper's demands, “Pay the money. No police.” Bill Hamilton and Freddie Herrera are the only ones who can possibly solve the riddle of a shadowy criminal network, rescue Paul and find those responsible. Kidnappers' Moon is the third in a series by JP Hudson, the writing team of Jack and Pat Hudson, who live in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, with their dogs Boomer and Roy.
