BLOOD MONEY (Marathi)

JUST WHEN HE IS PREPARED TO TAKE A WELL-EARNED LEAVE OF ABSENCE, DI TOM MARINER IS CALLED BACK TO THE CASE WHEN SIX-WEEK-OLD JESSICA KLINNEMANN IS ABDUCTED FROM A LOCAL DAY NURSERY. WHAT AT FIRST APPEARS TO BE A RANDOM KIDNAPPING GRADUALLY REVEALS ITSELF TO BE A METICULOUSLY PLANNED OPERATION. THE MOTIVE REMAINS UNCLEAR UNTIL MARINER DISCOVERS THAT THE BABY`S FATHER WORKS FOR A SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH COMPANY THAT HAS LONG BEEN THE TARGET OF ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS. A CRUDE NOTE SEEMS TO CONFIRM THAT ANIMAL RIGHTS PROTESTERS WERE BEHIND THE SCARE, BUT JUST WHEN MARINER THINKS HE`S SOLVED THE CRIME, ONE OF THE NURSERY WORKERS IS KILLED IN A HIT AND RUN, AND THE CASE IS BLOWN WIDE OPEN.
