Kidnapping Thriller Books

In an East London lock up, two film makers, Jimmy and Sam, are duct taped to chairs and forced to watch a snuff film by Ashkan, a loan shark to whom they owe a lot of money. If they don’t pay up, they’ll be starring in the next one. Before the film reaches its end, Ashkan and all his men are slaughtered by unknown assailants. Only Jimmy and Sam survive the massacre, leaving them with the sole copy of the snuff film. The film makers decide to build their next movie around the brutal film. While auditioning actors, they stumble upon Melissa, an enigmatic actress who seems perfect for the leading role, not least because she’s the spitting image of the snuff film’s main victim. Neither the film, nor Melissa, are entirely what they seem however. Jimmy and Sam find themselves pulled into a paranormal mystery that leads them through the shadowy streets of the city beneath the city and sees them re-enacting an ancient Mesopotamian myth cycle. As they play out the roles of long forgotten gods and goddesses, they’re drawn into the subtle web of a deadly heresy that stretches from the beginnings of civilization to the end of the world as we know it. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

Lorsque le criminel me torture à mort, je suis enceinte de trois mois. Mais mon mari Marc – le détective le plus éminent de la ville – est à l’hôpital avec son premier amour, Emma, l’accompagnant pour son examen médical. Il y a trois jours, il m’a demandé de donner mon rein à Emma. Lorsque j’ai refusé, en lui expliquant que j’attendais notre enfant depuis deux mois, son regard s’est glacé. « Arrête de mentir », a-t-il grondé. « Tu es juste égoïste, tu essaies de laisser Emma mourir. » Il s’est arrêté sur l’autoroute sombre. « Descends », a-t-il ordonné. « Rentre chez toi à pied, puisque tu es aussi sans cœur. » Je suis restée là, dans l’obscurité, et j’ai été kidnappée par le criminel vengeur, que Marc avait autrefois emprisonné. Il m’a coupé la langue. Avec une satisfaction cruelle, il a utilisé mon téléphone pour appeler mon mari. La réponse de Marc a été brève et froide : « Peu importe ce que c’est, l’examen médical d’Emma est plus important ! Elle a besoin de moi maintenant. » Le criminel a laissé échapper un rire sombre. « Eh bien, eh bien… On dirait que le grand détective valorise plus la vie de son ex que celle de sa femme actuelle. » Lorsque Marc arrive sur la scène du crime, des heures plus tard, il est horrifié par la brutalité infligée au cadavre. Il condamne avec colère le meurtrier pour avoir traité une femme enceinte avec autant de cruauté. Mais il ne connaît pas que le corps mutilé devant lui est celui de sa propre femme – moi.

Welcome back to Clifton Heights. Sheriff Chris Baker and Father Ward meet for a Saturday morning breakfast at The Skylark Diner to once again commiserate over the weird and terrifying secrets surrounding their town. Sheriff Baker shares with Father Ward the story of a journal discovered in the ruins of what was once an elaborate koi pond and flower garden, which regales a tale of regret, buried pain, and unfulfilled debt: “Sophan” – Jake Burns has always been a bit...off. Rude, awkward, sometimes brutish, he's tolerated by Nate Slocum and his friends because he hits a mean line drive, and because they all know but don't discuss the abuse he faces at the hands of his troubled father, a Vietnam veteran consumed by his demons. But Jake is suffering something far worse than domestic abuse, and when Nate discovers what, he faces an impossible choice: help Jake and put himself in the path of evil, or abandon him, only to damn himself in the process. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing
