Wealthy party go'ers kidnapped.
Following the inaugural party of the supposedly impenetrable estate of Faison Quay scion, Faison Quay VII, fondly known as Veetwo, and his wife, Felicia, eight friends and family are abducted as they leave the estate. With no clues, and, seemingly, no reason behind the kidnappings, Faison mobilises his massive financial resources and staff.
When a number of employees of eponymous Key Construction are discovered murdered, Faison desperately attempts to determine if the deaths are connected to the abductions.
Eventually, Veetwo and Felicia, plus their entire staff, are forced to abandon their estate, which leads to the impossible occurring; in spite of totally being sealed to the outside world, the security of their home is compromised.
Faison races against all odds to unravel who is behind the crimes and what is motivating them, before the hostages are killed and the wrong person gains Harcourt’s Legacy.
Excerpt
“Correctional Services of Canada informed Ms. Czahnivsky’s office that a person by the name of Harcourt Lyden, who used a South African passport as identification, showed up at the maximum security Kingston Penitentiary on Thursday, October the seventh, two thousand and four, asking to visit Elamn Jannix, claiming he was a relative. When he was informed that he would have to complete an application and information form for the purpose of security screening, which included a verification process by the Canadian Police Information Centre, he became somewhat upset; but, soon realised he was going to harm his chances if he didn’t calm down and agree. He was finally notified on October the thirteenth that he could have a visit with Jannix on Saturday, October the sixteenth, at one in the afternoon. He arrived just before the allotted time and was given what is referred to as an open visit; which meant there was no barrier between him and Jannix. According to the records, the visit seemed to be progressing very well, until about ten to two when Lyden began pummelling Jannix until he fell on the floor, at which time Lyden started to kick him violently. It took four guards to subdue Lyden, who was immediately dragged out of the visitation area and handcuffed. Jannix was taken to the infirmary, where he stayed for five days. Jannix refused to press charges and the Penitentiary decided, because he was a foreign national, not to press charges; but, they did ban him from ever being allowed to visit any prisoner in a Canadian prison.”
