In the spring of 2016, someone kidnapped the young step-daughter of John Allen Douglas, a very dangerous figure in the Philadelphia criminal world. Is this the opening move in a gang war, one designed to distract Douglas from his business, or is it something more personal? Ellen is drawn into the hunt for the child when Robert Blasingame reappears in her life. Ellen first met him during what was supposed to be a vacation but turned into a life and death struggle. She cut off her feelings for Blasingame when she discovered he was a very dangerous man operating outside the law. Nowadays, Blasingame just finds things, he says, and was hired to deliver the ransom. But that is only the start of increasing violence and danger. As Blasingame and Tyrone Rydell, a young veteran with a knack for computers, follow the kidnappers’ trail from a dead man’s home, Ellen uncovers evidence the kidnappers did not work alone – someone close to Douglas helped them. Facing increased danger to his step-daughter and unwilling to wait on the police, Douglas demands the three use their skills to rescue his step-daughter and Ellen, Blasingame, and Tyrone go into the dark Pennsylvania night to save a child.
