Kidnapper’s demand (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ransom

'kidnapper's demand' is the definition.
(a kidnapper demands a ransom)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ransom that I've seen before include "Rescue" , "Payment, eg to kidnapper" , "Payment demanded for release of captive" , "Freedom payment" , "Fee for kidnap release" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times, The Star Tribune and The Mirror.
