Two girls are missing. The clock is ticking. One cop stands in the way of a killer’s plan.
Mac McRyan, a fourth-generation cop with the St. Paul Police Department, is no stranger to high-pressure cases. But when a brazen double kidnapping shocks the city, Mac finds himself at the center of a storm—facing a cunning criminal and a media frenzy that won’t let up.
As the investigation spirals into a deadly game of betrayal and revenge, Mac must navigate hidden agendas, political cover-ups, and a killer with a personal score to settle. From the gritty streets of St. Paul to the dark, swirling currents of the St. Croix River, every clue leads closer to a chilling truth.
And time is running out.
