Agents of the state murdered his wife and took his son. Now they’re coming for Danny Ash.

Framed as a terrorist, the mild-mannered stay-at-home dad, desperate to find his child, has to evade both law enforcement and killers in the pay of shadowy vulture capitalist Victor Fabian, whose influence reaches deep into the White House. Fabian, battling political enemies and the creeping dementia that has him in its grip, is determined to silence Ash who has linked him to his wife’s murder. As he tracks his son through an American heartland scarred by poverty and opioid addiction, Ash has to confront a dark secret from his past even as he fights to save the boy’s life.

Advance Praise

“[A] briskly paced, vigorously written thriller about a man out to rescue his kidnapped ten-year-old son…The Hitchcockian chase, speeding from the Northwest to the East Coast in search of the child, is the focus, and it’s more than enough. Fast from the starting gate all the way to the finish line.”

-Kirkus Reviews

“Fans of action-packed, cinematic thrillers will best appreciate this one.”
