The Professionals by Owen Laukkanen.  Four friends, recent college graduates,
caught in a terrible job market, joke about turning to kidnapping to survive.
And then, suddenly, it's no joke. For two years, the strategy they devise--quick,
efficient, low risk--works like a charm. Until they kidnap the wrong man. Now
two groups they've very much wanted to avoid are after them--the law, in the form
of veteran state investigator Kirk Stevens and hotshot young FBI agent Carla
Windermere, and an organized crime outfit looking for payback. As they all
crisscross the country in a series of increasingly explosive confrontations, each
of them is ultimately forced to recognize a brutal truth: The true
professionals, cop or criminal, are those who are willing to sacrifice everything.
