About this audiobook
An eleven-year family driver's quiet resentment and mounting debt became the inside knowledge that made it possible: her exact route, her schedule, the household's blind spots. When Sophia Delacroix was pulled into a van in her own driveway, her family had sixty hours to get her back alive — sixty hours of an FBI crisis negotiator coaching a mother through every phone call, a ransom drop under careful surveillance, and a driver whose own guilt finally cracked the case open.
Braeburn: Sixty Hours traces a kidnapping-for-ransom case from the eight months of quiet planning that made it possible through the sixty-hour negotiation that brought a young woman home. A story about the particular danger of trusting the people closest to you — and what it takes, and costs, to get someone back.
