"Kidnapping is a fact of life."
Dick Francis – The Danger
It's not the best first line of Dick Francis' career but it catches your eye and makes you think. Also lets you know what the rest of the novel is going to be about. A couple of lines later he uses a pretty great metaphor.
"All kidnappers are unstable, but the political variety, hungry for power and publicity as much as money, make quicksand look like rock."
