"Amazing...nonstop action." -Mystery Tribune

Haunted by his own daughter's unsolved kidnapping many years ago, Simon feels it's his personal duty to take on child abduction cases. But something about the Trentons' ordeal isn't adding up. . .and soon it's clear to him that the kidnappers never intended to return Olivia, regardless of how much her parents were willing to pay. Knowing he has nothing left to lose, Simon throws himself into the hunt for Olivia with reckless abandon, following a lethal trail that will take him from California coast to the Cayman Islands, through the wild jungles of Costa Rica, and into some of the darkest reaches of his own soul. Meanwhile, time is running out...
