Marcus Reed’s daughter vanished two years ago. The police found her body in the woods and closed the case. But Marcus never believed it was an accident—until the day a photograph arrives that changes everything.
The image shows Lily, his seven-year-old daughter, alive and recent. Then come the phone calls, the ransom demands, the impossible hope that she might still be breathing. Marcus is pulled into a desperate hunt across Seattle’s shadows, following a trail of carefully planted clues that lead him to Rashid Hafez—a war criminal who blames Marcus for destroying his family.
Someone wants them to kill each other. Someone has been orchestrating everything from the beginning.
As Marcus unravels a conspiracy built on grief and guilt, he discovers that the deadliest enemy isn’t the one he’s hunting—it’s the one he trusted most. His ex-wife Sarah, former CIA operative, has been playing a game far more twisted than he could imagine.
