Synopsis

Sean Murphy, a responsible, doting husband, father, and provider, executes his impulsive plan to kidnap a wealthy infant heir. His wife Kathryn and their two toddler daughters, Nichole and Lauren, are unknowing participants in this perfect crime. Sean rents a cozy, secluded cottage to provide a relaxing summer for his family, and they welcome the unexpected, beautiful baby boy that Sean brings home to join their lazy days by the lake. Sean’s arrangements are unfolding as the perfect crime, or are they? Are his plans as seamless and foolproof as he believes? He takes every precaution, or does he? Will the Winslows ever hold their baby again? Will Kathryn discover her husband’s covert activities? Deemed a “riveting crime story that had my full attention” by retired New York Police Department Chief Michael Scagnelli, “Ransom By Mail” is a suspenseful fiction that will keep you engaged until the final page. Paul R. Payton’s first novel will captivate human nature and the conflict of resentment, revenge, and wealth resurfacing and influencing reasoning, life choices, and life’s finale in a thriller with twists and turns that no one expects.

About the Author

Born in the old textile mill town of Fall River, Massachusetts, Paul R. Payton moved to the country when he was twenty-five years old. He became an outdoor enthusiast and wrote numerous articles, detailing his global outdoor adventures, for sportsmen’s magazines. His love of the outdoors eventually took him to rural Southeast Nebraska, where he began Sheah Blue Vineyards, which he named after two of his granddaughters. Payton’s life in this rural setting of the Midwest was the inspiration for his first novel, Ransom by Mail. He recently celebrated his thirty-fifth wedding anniversary with his wife, Cris. They have three children, Sean, Kathryn, and Ryan, and three grandchildren, Blue, Sheah, and Mazlynn.
