About this book

When Judge Ramsey Hunt stumbles upon an abused child in the Colorado wilderness, he knows he's found something sinister that reaches far beyond a single tragedy. He calls in FBI powerhouses Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock to help unravel a dark web of criminals operating in the remote Rockies. As the trio races against time to hunt down those responsible, Ramsey finds himself drawn to protect not just the little girl, but also the fierce, brilliant woman determined to bring the abductors to justice. It's a high-stakes thriller that weaves together gritty crime-solving with the kind of emotional depth that'll keep your heart pounding until the final page.
