Synopsis

The blistering new novel from the author of the multi-award-nominated The Professionals-"Laukkanen is one of the best young thriller writers working today" (Richmond Times-Dispatch). When you've got nothing left, you've got nothing left to lose. Cass County, Minnesota: A sheriff's deputy steps out of a diner on a rainy summer evening, and a few minutes later, he's lying dead in the mud. When BCA agent Kirk Stevens arrives on the scene, he discovers local authorities have taken into custody a single suspect: A hysterical young woman found sitting by the body, holding the deputy's own gun. She has no ID, speaks no English. A mystery woman. The mystery only deepens from there, as Stevens and Carla Windermere, his partner in the new joint BCA-FBI violent crime task force, find themselves on the trail of a massive international kidnapping and prostitution operation. Before the two agents are done, they will have traveled over half the country, from Montana to New York, and come face-to-face not only with the most vicious man either of them has ever encountered-but two of the most courageous women. They are sisters, stolen ones. But just because you're a victim doesn't mean you have to stay one.

Goodreads review by Darcia on December 21, 2014

This book is largely a fast-paced police procedural, with some aspects of a thriller. While part of an ongoing series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone. I found the plot intense and compelling.

Goodreads review by Lawrence on September 22, 2018

I have enjoyed Owen Laukkanen's Stevens and Windermere series since book one. This one has been my favorite so far. Once again, I appreciate the depth of the characters Windermere and Stevens, not just as law enforcement officers, but in their lives outside work. But the part that amazaed me about t......more
