We all know about kidnappings—for ransom, honor, glory or fate. But this one involves hijacking a whole state. When Victoria Wilkins is taken at gunpoint from her father’s train, courtesy of environmentalism on the rampage, her ransom is Wyoming. Her father, a CEO with the usual delusions of omnipotence, suffers a sea-change in trying to save his daughter, along with Christopher Wilson, his vice president of good works. Can Victoria be rescued in time—and how? This is a novel of love betrayed and love redeemed, which answers more questions than it sets out to ask.

Yet, even in a simple community, life has a way of getting complicated.
