About this ebook
Kidnapped is the 4th book in the Andromeda Fox romantic mystery series set in contemporary Melbourne. As a surprise, Mathilda enters Andy’s painting Sleeping Angel in an art competition to be held in Sydney. He’s delighted and so is she, as she thinks that for once they’ll be able to have a peaceful holiday away, seeing as how their last attempt failed miserably.
Their first couple of days in Sydney is fine, until Andy goes to collect some ice from the machine in the hotel corridor and never returns. Tildy fears the worst while she searches for him but comes up empty. Returning to her room she finds a note under the door demanding she contact his father. That’s when she realizes her worst fear has come true. Filled with dread and failure, she contacts Mr Fox.
Chalmers Fox hurries to Sydney on her call. He prefers to keep his wife in the dark as she fell apart the last time when they lost their daughter to a kidnapper. This time he has every intention of following the kidnapper’s demands to the letter and keeping the police out of it. He involved them last time and his daughter died.
Little does he know that the police have been after this particular kidnapper for the last ten years and have alerted the local banks to notify them if anyone should make an extremely large cash withdrawal. When they learn Fox has withdrawn a million dollars in cash, they bug their rooms and listen in with the intent of arresting the kidnappers when they collect the ransom. This almost costs Andy his life, and it is only thanks to the clues he manages to include in his conversations with his father, and Mathilda’s investigative ability that he is saved from starving to death, as once the boss kidnappers henchmen were arrested there was no one to feed Andy.
While Mathilda is busy rescuing Andy, Chalmers Fox goes to meet the kidnapper to make another attempt to pay the ransom. However, once Mathilda informs him his son is safe, he gives in to his anger and takes out the kidnapper personally, being grimly motivated when he learns that this is the same man who murdered his daughter eighteen years previously.
