Nikki Garcia, a former fraud auditor turned international private investigator, travels to Mexico-a country where private investigators are outlawed-to find a missing child.
The parents are embroiled in a nasty custody battle, with each parent accusing the other of the girl's disappearance. It's an easy child-snatching case-right? That's what Nikki thinks until an irreverent, marihuana-smoking homeless woman provides an eye-witness account of the girl's kidnapping. Following the witness's account, Nikki goes undercover and infiltrates a ring of dangerous human traffickers. In the midst of despair and treachery, can she find a glimmer of hope? When the mother receives a ransom request, Nikki is already undercover with the diabolical human traffickers and her boss assumes she was purposely misled and sets out on a rescue mission. Nikki's fianc?, fearing the forces of evil will prevail, starts his own high stakes search to rescue the love of his life. In this gripping, twist-packed journey, will he locate her before it's too late? And what about the missing child? Who is going to save her?

Reader Views says: "The action is so fast-paced readers never has a chance to catch their breath until the very end. Nikki is engaging and realistic, and I loved following right alongside her throughout the action. With bad people working on several sides, it is hard to figure out how this story is going to end until the actual end. Clues are given, but the plot keeps twisting and turning so readers will have to wait until the last chapter to know for sure who the bad guy is."
