Book Log 2014 #29: Capital Punishment by Robert Wilson

Charles Boxer is a kidnapping consultant, hired by families to help negotiate for the release of their taken loved one. His skills, honed in the Royal Marines, Metropolitan Police, and with a private security firm, make him the perfect choice for those who want to work outside of official channels. He's also the perfect choice for those who want the additional -and illegal - services that Boxer can offer now that he's a freelancer.

When the daughter of an Indian billionaire goes missing, Boxer is hired to help get her back. But there's more to the case than meets the eye, a melding of professional skill and personal intent that leads Boxer into the billionaire's past and his connections with the Pakistani military. Compounding the professional difficulty are personal ones, between a love triangle involving his ex-wife and another woman and a very difficult relationship with their daughter.

I don't think I've read a book by Robert Wilson that I didn't like, and that continues here.
