Kidnap: Pawns in Play

By Richard P. Wright

Pawns in Play delves deeply into an unseen world and highlights moral choices and compromises affecting those involved on all sides, both perpetrators and victims. Sixteen-year-old Jamie Moreno, soccer star and scion of a wealthy family, is kidnapped and encounters 43, a destitute youngster his own age recruited into the business after suffering intolerable indignities. Their interaction as victim and jailer, from physical and psychological domination through communication across a chessboard to surprising conclusion, intertwines with kidnapping in all its sordid aspects amid a cast of cops, criminals, and everyday people in an environment where violence and corruption rule, everyone is someone's pawn, and no one can be trusted.
