Book excerpt: Aaron Greene is a shy, stay-in-the-background young Jewish boy, the child of shy, stay-in-the-background parents. Only a year out of high school, he has a part-time job as a mailboy in a large Atlanta bank. One morning, on his way to work, he is kidnapped and the kidnappers demand a ransom of ten million dollars - not from his parents, but from the bank that employs him. The bank rejects the demand. And what begins as a curious crime - the abduction of an unknown, a nobody - soon ignites a national crusade for Aaron's safe return, because everyone, in one way or another, understands what it is like to be a nobody. For the kidnappers, the money has no meaning. The mastermind, Ewell Pender, is a wealthy eccentric, an elderly board member of the bank, yet also the man who organizes the campaign to raise Aaron's ransom. His criminal associates are young nonconformists, dreamers and daredevils. Keeping Aaron in the luxury of the Pender mansion is, to them, a clever and teasing adventure. For Aaron, it is not life-threatening; it is life-changing. Caught in the mystery is a journalist who unwittingly is used as a pawn by the kidnappers to tell Aaron's story, and also a detective who bends rules and follows his instinct as much as his training. For both, the kidnapping reveals a profound understanding of their own lives in the complex workings of the world around them. Richly written, driven by baffling twists in plot, and featuring powerful portrayals of memorable characters, The Kidnapping of Aaron Greene goes beyond the elements of a classic crime. It is an experiment in human manipulation and behavior, and a riveting study of the passions and apathy historically exhibited by society.

Download or read book Le kidnapping d'Aaron Greene written by Terry KAY and published by Cherche Midi. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelle valeur donnez-vous à une vie humaine ? Quelle valeur donnez-vous à une vie humaine ? Aaron Greene est coursier dans une banque d'Atlanta. Un matin, en allant à son travail, il disparaît. La piste du kidnapping est hautement improbable. Qui pourrait en effet vouloir s'en prendre à cet employé aux revenus très modestes et à la situation précaire ? Et pourtant la demande de rançon ne tarde pas à tomber. Les ravisseurs réclament 10 millions de dollars. Non pas à la famille d'Aaron, mais à la banque qui l'emploie. Bien sûr, la direction n'a aucune intention de payer pour ce salarié à peine visible dans l'organigramme. C'est compter sans l'habileté des ravisseurs : à travers les médias, ceux-ci vont dresser l'opinion publique contre l'établissement bancaire, qui, semble-t-il, n'accorde pas la même valeur à la vie d'un petit employé qu'à celle d'un dirigeant. Alors que la presse se déchaîne, que les avocats et autres conseillers en communication de la banque sont en alerte, Cody Yates, un journaliste mêlé malgré lui de près à l'enlèvement, et l'inspecteur Victor Menotti vont tenter de résoudre une affaire qui va se révéler beaucoup plus complexe qu'il n'y paraît. Avec ce thriller palpitant, construit comme une magistrale partie d'échecs, Terry Kay nous offre une magnifique réflexion, plus d'actualité que jamais, sur la valeur d'une vie humaine au temps du libéralisme sauvage et du capitalisme triomphant.

Download or read book Victim F written by Denise Huskins and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shocking true story of a bizarre kidnapping and the victims' re-victimization by the justice system. In March 2015, Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn awoke from a sound sleep into a nightmare. Armed men bound and drugged them, then abducted Denise. Warned not to call the police or Denise would be killed. Aaron agonized about what to do. Finally he put his trust in law enforcement and dialed 911. But instead of searching for Denise, the police accused Aaron of her murder. His story, they told him, was just unbelievable. When Denise was released alive, the police turned their fire on her, dubbing her the “real-life ‘Gone Girl’” who had faked her own kidnapping. In Victim F, Aaron and Denise recount the horrific ordeal that almost cost them everything. Like too many victims of sexual violence, they were dismissed, disbelieved, and dragged through the mud. With no one to rely on except each other, they took on the victim blaming, harassment, misogyny, and abuse of power running rife in the criminal justice system. Their story is, in the end, a love story, but one that sheds necessary light on sexual assault and the abuse by law enforcement that all too frequently compounds crime victims’ suffering.

Book excerpt: A Survivor Story I can't describe what it's like to want to scream every minute of every day. Two years after a terrifying night of pain destroyed his normal teenage existence, Aaron Downing still clings to the hope that one day, he will be a fully functional human being. But his life remains a constant string of nightmares, flashbacks, and fear. When, in his very first semester of college, he's assigned Spencer Thomas as a partner for his programming project, Aaron decides that maybe "normal" is overrated. If he could just learn to control his fear, that could be enough for him to find his footing again. With his parents' talk of institutionalizing him-of sacrificing him for the sake of his brothers' stability-Aaron becomes desperate to find a way to cope with his psychological damage or even fake normalcy. Can his new shrink control his own demons long enough to treat Aaron, or will he only deepen the damage? Desperate to understand his attraction for Spencer, Aaron holds on to his sanity with both hands as it threatens to spin out of control.
