Mike Romeo is helping a reformed gang member protect a girl rescued from a sex trafficking ring. When the girl is kidnapped, Romeo sets out to find her-and plunges into a heart of darkness unlike anything he's fought before.
The layers of this evil run deep in L.A., stretching from Skid Row to Malibu, from Little Guatemala to Beverly Hills. When the cops tell Romeo to back off, he only goes further in. Because Romeo has rules, the most important being: Always protect the children.
Now he is a man alone against all the forces of power, money, and influence in the city, forces able to kill anyone who gets in the way.
Until they meet Romeo.
Another pulse-pounding thriller in the hit series that is "sharp as a switchblade." (Meg Gardiner)
