Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:A violent crime brings together four lives in Danielle Steelâ??s sixtieth bestselling novel, the story of a motherâ??s courage, a familyâ??s terror, and a triumph of human strength and dignity in the face of overwhelming odds.

Outside the gates of a California prison, Peter Morgan is released after four long years and vows to redeem himself in the eyes of the young daughters he left behind. Simultaneously, Carl Waters, a convicted murderer, is set on the path of freedom with him. That night, three hundred miles south in San Francisco, police detective Ted Lee comes home to a silent house; for twenty-nine years, he has been living for his jobâ??and slowly falling out of love with his wife. Across town, in an exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood, a mother tries to shield her three children from the panic rising within her. Four months after her husbandâ??s death, Fernanda Barnes faces a mountain of debt she cannot repay, a world destroyed, and a marriage lost.

Within weeks, the lives of these four people will collide in ways none of them could have foreseen. For Fernanda, whose life had once been graced by beautiful homes, security, success, and stunning wealth, the death of her brilliant, brooding husband was already too much to bear. She simply couldnâ??t imagine a greater loss, until a devastating crime rocks her family to its coreâ??and brings Detective Ted Lee into her life.
A man of unshakable integrity, Lee will soon become the one person who tries to save Fernandaâ??s family from a terrifying fate. Fernanda must draw on a strength she never knew she had. Racing against time in the underbelly of the criminal world, buffeted by the dark side of power, and unmoored by loss and betrayal, no one can predict where this tragedy will take them.

Danielle Steel brilliantly explores the collision of a shocking crime with the ordinary lives of its victims in a novel that mesmerizes from start to finish. Ransom is at once a riveting evocation of lifeâ??s inexplicable turns of fate and a testament to

Enjoyable and suspenseful read. ( )
  soosthemoose | Jan 22, 2015 |
It is a GREAT book, intense, but good values presented in the midst of the most evil men. A man gets rich quick, then loses it all, and presumably commits suicide, leaving his wife and sweet kids holding his debts. They become the target of another unscrupulous rich man who wants to arrange a kidnap of the kids, or even one of them, and let the ransom rebuild his fortune. [He was unaware of Allan Barnes’ loss of fortune.] Some ex-cons are hired to kidnap. A great team of an FBI agent and a SFPD cop come into the picture and the excitement goes on from there. At the end, one of the cops, Ted, and Fernanda Barnes fall in love. ( )
