Quick-thinking Anne Sluti always has her sharp mind engaged after being abducted at gunpoint at a shopping mall in Kearney, Nebraska. The kidnapper named Anthony Steven Wright, a.k.a., Tony Zappy and nicknamed "The Jack-Rabbit" is the deranged soul looking only for companionship in the felonious offenses he commits.
Anne was all set to start college in Terre Haute when she was kidnapped. Her six-day journey into hell took her from Kearney to Wyoming to Montana. When Tony allowed her to place phone calls, she gave clues to her loved ones about her whereabouts.
Detective Timbrook has been a longstanding friend of the Sluti family. The detective works closely with the FBI, using his intuitive sense of Anne to help in her discovery. It is revealed that Tony was beaten by his father, then raised by a stern, religious grandmother. Tony knows his Bible, and he is a bit of a poet as well. He recounts the Robert Service poem "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" to an appalled Anne, as if he is making a connection with an old hero from the Wild West.
Things finally come to a head when the efficient police and FBI locate the whereabouts of Tony and Anne. It was a moving ending when Anne raced into the arms of Detective Timbrook, then reunited with her loving family. She went on to attend the Rose Hulman institute, earning a degree in bio medical engineering. But she deserves a Purple Heart for courage and tenacity, as well as using her instincts for survival to close the book on the ballad of dangerous Dan McGrew.
