Synopsis
Derek Chapman hitches a ride and later realizes he has unwittingly assisted in what he has dreaded and anticipated--his own kidnapping.
From Kirkus Reviews, 25 April 1977:
"...a well-paced suspense story with a believably varied cast and enough close interaction to give the adventure a little more than plot interest. The central character is superrich Derek Chapman, and very early on he is kidnapped from near his prep school along with four relatively poor townies who just happen to be waiting at the same bus stop. The kidnappers, a man and a woman, are brutal and increasingly desperate, and the five teenagers--one black, two female--alternately bear up, bicker, scheme, despair, and even neck (if that's what you call it when your hands are tied behind your back) as they are beaten, imprisoned, shot at and shifted from a speeding van to an isolated cabin to a burning boathouse to a remote water tower..."

From the Publisher
What he's dreaded most has finally happened....
Kidnapped. It's a word that sixteen-year-old Derek Chapman is afraid to even think, but the reality of it is beginning to sink in. He'd been standing at the bus stop in the rain with four other kids-strangers-when the van came along, and they'd hitched a ride to escape the storm.
Derek knows he is the only one the kidnappers really care about--he's the son of a self-made millionaire, and now he has a price on his head. The others, two guys and two girls, just had the bad luck to follow him into the van. Although Derek is the target of the kidnappers, the danger is real for all of them. Even if the criminals get the ransom money, will all the victims be set free?
