  It's like this; if cutting off my hands will make this man go away, and return my son to my bleeding arms, I'd do it. No hesitation. That's the kind of bargain I'm willing to make. How far would you go to save the life of your child? No parent believes it can happen to them - their child taken from a crowded playing field, from right under their nose. But as widowed mother Kate Bickford discovers, everything can change in the blink of an eye. One minute her amazing, maddening son Tommy is begging for ice-cream. Then in a terrible instant, he's gone. Arriving home, hoping to find her son, Kate comes face to face with Tommy's abductor. He wants money. All she has. And if she doesn't follow something he calls The Method, the consequences will be gruesome. Her comfortable life collapses as precious seconds tick by, and Kate is horrified to uncover the terrible secret she and her son share with a killer. But in this deadly game of cat and mouse, no one should underestimate the power of a mother's love...
