Armchair Thriller

When kidnappers abduct his teenage daughter, Sue, industrialist Vincent Craig could easily raise the ransom money. But Craig intends to do things his own way.

Enlisting the help of a local crime reporter, Craig tracks down a disgruntled ex-employee named George Neecham.

While Craig's desperation mounts, Sue becomes increasingly comfortable with her kidnappers--especially with a young man named Frankie.

Detectives trace Craig to Hepton, but he has moved on to the abandoned factory where his daughter is being held.

Craig confronts his daughter's captor, but Sue--very much her father's daughter--does the unexpected.
