From the author of RED CAT and THICK AS THIEVES: a gripping new thriller about a medical doctor with a powerful humanitarian impulse, an unhealthy appetite for risk, and a knack for finding himself between a rock and a hard place.
Adam Knox comes from a long line of patrician Connecticut doctorsβa line he broke to serve with an NGO in the war-torn Central African Republic. His attempt to protect his patients there from a brutal militia ended in disaster and disgrace, and now he runs a clinic near Los Angelesβs Skid Row, making ends meet by making house callsβcash only, no questions askedβon those too famous or too criminal to seek other medical care.
When a young boy is abandoned at his clinic, Knox is determined to find the boyβs family and save him from the not-so-tender mercies of the child welfare bureaucracy. But Knoxβs search for the volatile woman who may or may not be the boyβs mother leads him and his friend, a former Special Forces operator, into a labyrinth of human traffickers, Russian mobsters, and corporate security thugs; and squarely into the sights of a powerful, secretive, and utterly ruthless family that threatens to destroy Dr. Knox and everythingβand everyoneβhe holds dear.
