For over three years kidnap victim Jake Cornish has struggled to
put the memories of his ordeal in the Philippines behind him. Not even his wife
Beth knows the full truth and he wants to keep it that way. However, on their
first family vacation since returning to the US, a chance sighting of one of
his kidnappers inflames his need for closure. When attempts to learn more about
his kidnappers' new lives coincide with a brutal attack on their family, Jake
becomes entangled in the ensuing police investigation. Now, not only have his
actions jeopardized his marriage, but if his secret is revealed he will hand
the police the one piece of information they are missing—a motive for
revenge.

Detective Paul Rigby’s role in his girlfriend’s
death has haunted him since that tragic event almost one year ago. With his
dreams of marriage and a family already destroyed, Rigby’s guilt now threatens
to sabotage the one thing left to him: his once promising career. That career
would already be in ruins without the intervention of Chief of Police Jim
Pearson. Reluctant to lose his best detective, Pearson is forced to resort to
ever more devious methods of keeping his young protégé under control as the anniversary
approaches. Sidelined following a spontaneous act of violence, Rigby finds
himself at increasing odds with his mentor but is determined to prove that he
is still worthy of Pearson’s trust. A manpower crisis within the department
offers a chance of redemption during what should be a straightforward case, but
when repercussions from his punch-up and his unorthodox handling of the
investigation collide with devastating results, Rigby discovers he has a lot
more to lose than he thought.
Kidnapped while on vacation in the Philippines, expatriate Jake Cornish struggles to retain his dignity in the face of the humiliating circumstances imposed by his captors. As his wife’s chilling silence to the ransom demand continues, Jake’s futile attempts at escape and defiance are met with a degree of hostility and brutality that suggest his chance of survival is grim—until his captors suggest another use for him. Their outrageous new demand pushes him to unparalleled levels of despondency but also causes cracks in their unity, laying bare ulterior motives and revealing the true nature of the kidnappers themselves.
A story of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, Ulterior Motives tells of life stripped bare of daily comforts, where desperation drives motivation, and loyalty and love may lead not to happiness but unimaginable consequences.
