He is a nasty guy and he tells Mitch all this without the slightest hint of emotion. If Mitch doesn’t come up with the cash, or if he goes to the police, the kidnapper promises to cut off Holly’s fingers, one by one, before cutting out her tongue and eyes and leaving her to die slowly. The man who replaces her is cool and calm and very good at making Mitch’s wife scream. Then she screams and Mitch isn’t talking to Holly anymore. When he answers his mobile his wife Holly tells him that she loves him. Mitch is busy putting empty plant pots onto the back of his pickup. The call comes in at 11:43 on a Monday morning. Mitch needs the money to get his wife back.
Why does a gardener need so much money? Not to buy a couple of new spades and thirty feet of garden hose, that’s for sure. Mitch needs two million dollars and he only has sixty hours to find it.
That’s pretty good for a gardener, but not good enough. In fact, Mitch only has about eleven thousand dollars in the bank. He is a good gardener, but like many gardeners, he is not rolling in money. The central character in The Husband is a gardener named Mitch Rafferty.
