The Ransom
Once a criminal, always a criminal...
After twelve years in Attica, Baker Wyatt is again free to start leading a "healthy, normal, and productive life." But Baker is not a normal person. In fact, the one thing he's certain of after spending over half his forty-one years in prison is his inability to lead a normal life on the outside. So Baker decides to pull one last job. Success will bring enough money to make up for all his years behind bars. Failure will result in life imprisonment--or death
The plan is to kidnap someone so corrupt that the family can't go to the FBI and rich enough to pay the three million dollar ransom. Baker settles on Tito Benitez, one of the most brutal cocaine traffickers in Manhattan.
What follows is a cat and mouse game that features one of the savviest ransom sequences in the history of crime.
