Blaze. Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman (First Edition Hardback) 2007

Blaze by Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman.

BIG MOTHER. At 6'7" and built like a bear, Clay Blaisdell is one big mother, but his capers are strictly small-time until he meets George Rackley. George introduces him to a hundred cons and the one big score that every small timer dreams of: kidnap.

The Gerards are filthy rich, and their chikld, the last twig on the family tree, could be worth millions. And after all a baby can't ID you, so you can return it alive.

There's only one problem: when the time comes for the deal to go down, George, the brains of the partnership, has died.

Or has he?

COLD TERROR Now Blaze is running into the teeth of a howling storm and the cops are closing in. He's got a baby as a hostage, and the Crime of the Century just turned into a race against time in the white hell of the Maine woods.
