The Husband
by Dean Koontz

  One morning, Southern California gardener Mitchell Rafferty gets a call on his cellphone from a stranger saying that Mitch's beloved wife, Holly, has been kidnapped and that he has less than three days to come up with $2 million in cash. Of course, he's warned not to involve the police. While Mitch is still on the phone, the kidnapper proves his seriousness by directing Mitch's attention to a man walking a dog across the street. A moment later the man is shot dead. Mitch must walk a fine line—cooperating with the police inquiry into this murder without revealing Holly's plight. Koontz ratchets up the tension in a manner sure to captivate most readers, though some may find the ending anticlimactic.
Этот звонок не только резко разделил жизнь скромного садовника Митча Рафферти на "до" и "после", но и послужил отправной точкой цепочки событий, за несколько часов превративших его в совершенно другого человека. Он еще не знал, что люди, похитившие его любимую жену Холли и требующие выкуп в 2 миллиона долларов, нацелились на денежки его старшего брата, Энсона. А похитители, в свою очередь, не представляли, с кем именно они затеяли свою рискованную игру...
