52 Pickup by Elmore Leonard

A successful suburban businessman’s secret affair becomes the leverage for a brutal blackmail scheme by small-time criminals; as they demand money and escalate to threats, abduction and murder, he is drawn into a tense, violent struggle to protect his family and reputation, pushing him to improvise ruthless, morally ambiguous measures and exposing the thin veneer between respectable life and criminal chaos.
