Abducted (9)
I believe the answer is:
kidnapped
'abducted' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for kidnapped that I've seen before include "Taken prisoner for ransom - R. L. Stevenson novel" , "Book by Stevenson" , "novel for a boy" , "Classic novel" , "Abducted" .)
