Real-life accounts of harrowing abductions and resilient survivors from the author of Prince Andrew: Epstein, Maxwell and the Palace.

True stories of twisted criminals who hold their victims in endless captivity to satisfy their perverse desires, Against Their Will is a comprehensive compendium of the most disturbing kidnappings of all time.

• Jaycee Lee Dugard—lived to tell the tale of her eighteen years of captivity in paroled rapist Phillip Garrido’s suburban backyard
• Elizabeth Smart—bravely held on for nine long months in a forced marriage to religious fanatic Brian David Mitchell, who repeatedly raped her in the name of God
• Elisabeth Fritzl—amazingly overcame twenty-four years trapped in a basement dungeon built especially for her by her father, Josef
• Colleen Stan—heroically endured seven years as a sex slave, brutally tortured with the full consent of her captor’s wife
• Tina Marie Risico—escaped certain death at the hands of a killer by being an unwilling accomplice in other kidnappings
