About this ebook

Life is starting to tick Robin Parsons off. Bad people get away with whatever, and good people are supposed to shut up and take it. When a friend gets into trouble and she sees a chance to even the score a little, Robin takes it. She makes a crooked politician give back the money he took.

That's satisfying, and Robin wonders: Can I do it again? Should I do it again? She's no criminal mastermind, but help comes from unexpected sources. Soon Robin has a "gang," not exactly the Avengers, but willing and determined. As she continues her crusade for justice, Robin worries about a steely-eyed private investigator who's hot on her trail and seems to know where she'll go next.

KIDNAP.org lets readers escape into "What if--?" with an everyday citizen who's had all she can take from the powerful and greedy. Enjoy the ride as Robin and her odd heroes use their not-so-super powers to make bad guys behave, turning victims into victors.

Ratings and reviews

An amateur version of the show Leverage ( which I enjoyed), has an increasing cast of misfits ganging together to right wrongs. Would love more of these stories.

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED! THIS FAMILY OF GENUINE HUMAN KINDNESS. 🙏🏻

This was AWESOME! A great idea/story/epic. I liked how it was a bit of a slow burn and then bang(!) no longer just a fun romp. Mind you,, it was still fun.I highly recommend this book.
