When a call from his daughter, Katie, interrupts his
much-needed vacation, Detective Wade Jackson knows it’s bad
news. As Katie tearfully announces that her mom—Jackson’s
ex-wife, Renee—is missing, Jackson suspects alcoholic Renee
has climbed back inside the bottle that destroyed their
marriage. But the truth is far worse: kidnappers have
snatched Renee and are demanding ransom from her wealthy
fiancé. The very same night, someone dumps a savagely beaten
University of Oregon coed on the doorstep of the ER.
Jackson’s protégé, Detective Lara Evans, must identify the
unconscious victim, then track down the assailant with no
leads to go on…except the whispered rumor of a secret
sorority. Meanwhile, Eugene’s new FBI liaison, Agent Carla
River, takes charge of Renee’s high-tech ransom operation
while Jackson comforts his distressed daughter and retraces
the steps of the mother she holds dear. But as the rescue
takes a deadly twist and the suspects seem willing to let
Renee die rather than crack under interrogation, Jackson
worries that Katie will never forgive him if her mother is
lost forever.
