The Predators

**A sinister ring of child abductors sends the FBI on a frenzied manhunt to save an ambassador’s daughter before it’s too late

**

The people in the car don’t recognize Mary as anything special. They see the skinny ten-year-old as just another young girl on the streets of Brussels, not as the daughter of a US ambassador. The black car stops and Mary, used to having a chauffeur, climbs aboard. Before she knows what’s happening, she is on her way to a mansion in Antwerp with a specially designed, child-sized cell. She has been abducted.

Now, a team of FBI agents, along with Europe’s foremost psychological profiler, are on the hunt for the girl’s captors. They must find her before time runs out and Mary is murdered—or worse.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Brian Freemantle including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.
