Private investigator Lucas Holt is on a
mission…
Lucas Holt specializes in kidnap recovery.
Ex-Delta Force and a former NYPD detective, he has spent the last fifteen years
burying himself in case files to cope with the unsolved abduction of his
daughter, Marnie.
Janet Maxwell just can’t let go…
After the death of Janet’s husband and son
in a tragic car accident, she hopes Holt’s expertise can locate the daughter
she gave up for adoption seventeen years ago. Janet knows her actions will have
explosive repercussions for the girl’s father—presidential candidate, Todd
Grayson. With no family, hope of finding her only daughter is all she has left.
Or is there a more sinister motive?
There’s no greater incentive for a father
than protecting his daughter…
On a mission to bury the constant reminder
of his failure to recover Marnie, Holt agrees to Janet’s proposal. But at what
cost? When his inquiries lead to news of the death of another woman, Holt can’t
shake the feeling something is off about the whole case. And when new evidence
surfaces about Marnie's disappearance, his drive to recover Janet’s daughter
and his own become one and the same.
Crooked candidates, hired mercenaries,
bitter lovers, and his own life on the line—will Holt find it inside him to
risk it all in the line of duty? There’s no telling how far you’re willing
to go when you have everything to lose.

The woman in the sunburst yellow dress settled behind a small boy who
stood between his parents in the front row. In her carefully chosen spot, she
would have no problem seeing the senator. More important, he would be able to
see her.
Following the presidential candidate’s schedule occupied most of her
time. She knew him, and his routines. He was a clever politician, a clever man.
At one time, she admired that about him. In spite of his womanizing history,
she’d held him in high esteem. She hadn’t cared about the rumors of his
less-than-ethical political acumen. He was bright and confident. Like her, he
knew what he wanted and achieved it. The one thing he lacked was loyalty. That
was his one unforgivable flaw.
A momentary stab of rejection cut through her as crushing memories of
betrayal clamored to the forefront of her mind. Another staunch memory held
them at bay, protecting her as always from thoughts that could leave her filled
with rage or shattered from distress. I
did what I had to. He gave me no choice.
I read this book. It's a thriller like no other. I was hooked and totally immersed in this book from the first page to the last, mostly because of its unpredictable twists and turns. I would highly recommend this novel to those who enjoy mystery thrillers.
