A year ago, Dane Kessler fractured a man's skull on a dark county road, then knelt in the gravel and kept him breathing until help came. Now the man is at his door-injured, hunted, and carrying two words: LIVE LOAD. It is a category on a freight manifest. It means the cargo is a person. Kessler is a former Air Force pararescueman working ambulance shifts with a hand that will never close properly again and a two-year-old son he is determined to keep outside all of this. What he has left is the one thing he still knows how to do: get people out of places they cannot escape on their own. The man at his door is the first credible evidence that a legitimate transport network - real trucks, real insurance, real paperwork - has been quietly moving living human beings. Working with FBI agent Nadia Okafor, Kessler can prove that a shipment is scheduled. He cannot prove that anyone is alive inside it. It moves either way.
