1998: Stanley Alpert is abducted and driven blindly through the streets of new york sandwiched between 2 dangerously armed men, eventually finding himself sitting on a mattress in a dirty apartment. He describes a surreal, yet true, experience, as he, an assistant U.S. attorney, helps his kidnappers realize they’ve chosen the wrong man. Sitting blindfolded(on his birthday!) with prostitutes having sex with his kidnappers around him, Stanley slyly manipulates his kidnappers— mildly befriending them. Retardely realizing that they had stolen a man with $100K in his savings account, who is a prosecutor, the kidnappers realize they are in way over their heads.

After asking for legal advice, offering their blindfolded friend drinks, food, sex from their whores, and weed— Stanley escapes. (obviously, considering he wrote the book…)

Entertaining and interesting, considering the statistics on living through a kidnapping.
