Kidnap.Org — Peg Herring

Rich, Powerful, and Crooked--Meet Small, Odd, and Determined! Robin Parsons is in the middle of a very bad day when a neighbor calls, asking for help. The socially inept Carter “accidentally” kidnapped a county official, and he doesn't know what to do with him. Carter admits the guy in the trunk is “pretty mad” about it, but he's a crook who cheated Carter's elderly mother. When she hears the story, Robin is furious. What can she do to right the wrong and keep Carter out of prison? A plan comes to mind -- a way to make the man admit his crimes and make amends. It's weird, but it's also satisfying.So begins a thrilling secret quest for justice, paybacks for little guys who've been cheated, lied to, pushed around, and otherwise mistreated by those with the power and arrogance to say to their victims, “Life isn't fair. Deal with it.”Robin deals -- in a (mostly) non-violent, proactive process she calls KIDNAP.org.Along the way she picks up a following, but it's definitely not a gang of superheroes. Odd to the point of weirdness, the KIDNAP.org crew bonds as they take on the bullies of the world and "encourage" them to right the wrongs they've done.As suspense builds, Robin's “gang” is always just one step ahead of disaster. Still, she can't quit. And if she's only a half-step ahead of a mysterious private investigator determined to track her down, a half-step will have to do.
