A small coterie of retired cops jumps at the chance to solve the mystery of the neighbor's missing granddaughter. A thoroughly engaging and clever read where the senior sleuths encounter a network of dastardly characters involved in drugs and human trafficking. Two thumbs up! -Sherry Hobbs, author of Bird of Passage and Mac-The Wind Beneath My Wings
Four retired detectives. One missing teenager. And a case that doesn't add up.
Peace River Village is where people come for quiet streets, friendly neighbors, and the promise of a peaceful life in Sunland, Florida.
But safety is an illusion.
Seventeen-year-old Jennifer Duncan isn't a runaway. She's a good kid trapped in a troubled home-until one wrong encounter puts her in the path of something far more dangerous than she could ever imagine. When Jennifer vanishes, the police move too quickly, dismissing her as just another runaway. Her grandmother knows better-and refuses to let her disappear without a fight.
Desperate for answers, she turns to four retired detectives. They've traded the job for quiet lives, but not their instincts... or the camaraderie that once carried them through their toughest cases. They thought those days were behind them. They were wrong.
What begins as a search for Jennifer uncovers a brutal world of drugs, manipulation, and human trafficking operating just beyond the edges of their community. Now, with time running out, they must bring her home-before she disappears into a world no one escapes.
Christopher Amato, a former federal agent, delivers a gripping thriller where danger hides in plain sight.
