description: Whether its a Middle East oil crisis in the 1970s or the London Blitz during WWII world events have a way of breeding trouble on the home front too. Thats how Toby Rinaldi son of a U.N. Ambassador wound up kidnapped on his way to a California amusement park and how Robby Burnes orphaned son of British nobility wound up snatched on the snowy streets of New York City. But as Robbys famous namesake taught us the best laid plans dont always work out as intended. Especially not when youre a kidnapper in the hands of Gregory Mcdonald.The comic genius behind the Fletch and Flynn books Gregory Mcdonald also penned the two brilliant kidnapping novels appearing here for the first time in three decades  and the first time ever in a single volume. Two precocious eight-year-old boystwo teams of kidnappers in way over their headstwo opportunities for mayhem danger and the trenchant social satire no crime writer has ever delivered like Mcdonald.
