Summary |
"Alyshia DCruz, daughter of Indian tycoon Frank DCruz, has grown up in London and Mumbai wanting for nothing. But one night, after a boozy evening out, she gets in the wrong cab home. Charles Boxer, ex-army, ex-police, has found his niche in private security. His specialty: kidnap and recovery. When DCruz hires Boxer to find Alyshia, Boxer knows Franks crooked business empire has made him plenty of enemies. Despite the vast DCruz fortune, the kidnappers don't want cashinstead favoring a cruel and lethal game. But the British government doesnt want their big new investor to lose his daughter in the heart of the capital. MI6 officers in India follow Boxers leads and soon it seems more lives than Alyshias are at stake, as the trail crosses paths with a terrorist plot on British soil. To save Alyshia, Boxer must dodge religious fanatics, Indian mobsters, and Londons homegrown crime lords. Capital Punishment is a thrilling journey to the dark side of people and places that lie just out of view, waiting for the moment to tear a life apart." -- Goodreads.com |

"После бурной вечеринки красавица Алишия, дочь индийского олигарха Фрэнка дКруша, садится в такси и исчезает. Похитителей не интересует выкуп, они требуют, чтобы отец девушки ±проявил искренность¬. Как это понимать? Если миллиардер не найдет правильный ответ, Алишию ждет смерть. Нанятый дКрушем специалист по переговорам с похитителями Чарльз Боксер пытается разгадать головоломку. Но чем ближе он знакомится с империей дКруша, тем яснее понимает: на пути к славе и богатству тот нажил слишком много опаснейших врагов. С каждым шагом Боксер все глубже погружается в темный мир преступности, где любое неосторожное слово может стоить жизни." -- Page 4 of cover. |
