Nick Lawrence rejoins his old unit, the FBI's Violent Crimes Against Children task force. The career move puts him in Austin, Texas-and onto the case of a young girl on the run. She's been thrust into a foreign land against her will. Armed only with a set of skills bestowed by her father, she embarks on a perilous journey to keep a promise-as she is hunted by a ruthless human trafficking ring. Nick teams up with local law enforcement, intent on saving the girl and dismantling the criminal organization trying to reach her first. But as a greater conspiracy unfolds, Nick finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse. The opposition is more powerful than he could have imagined-and they're intent on silencing him, and the girl, forever. ________________________________ •
