About this audiobook

They took his daughter in the night. By morning, he had become the thing they feared. Cole Mercer moved his wife and fourteen-year-old daughter from Calgary to a jungle lodge on the Río Blanco in Costa Rica, chasing a second chance he could build with his own two hands. He patched roofs in lightning storms and pulled turtles from flooded culverts. He hid the illness that was killing him, the debt he couldn't pay, and the marriage coming apart in the next room. Then the guests in Cabin Three took Wren. With the police moving too slowly, Cole goes to the one man who owns the Caribbean coast: an old narco called El Diablo, who has never sold a child and won't allow it on his roads. With the old man's blessing, Cole tears through the trafficking network so violently that, from the very first night, the men who took Wren are too afraid to touch her. He survives a beheading attempt and a machete that nearly takes his arm. He crosses into Nicaragua with the boy who was ordered to kill him.
