When the bus finally stopped, Cara couldn’t understand what she was looking at for a moment. She could hear the engine running and the lady driver’s voice as she spoke to someone on her phone, but Cara’s attention, like all the other children, was riveted on the building they had stopped before.
It was a large, dilapidated wooden structure, practically in ruins. The glass had been broken out of all the windows, one upper window hung precariously, and behind the huge open doors yawned a dark vacancy that was too dark for Cara’s sun-adapted eyes to look into.
Once upon a time, the wooden building had been painted black. The sun and elements had aged its outer appearance, but the color still marked it in the open, desolate landscape.
“Where are we?” Nafisa cried, in tears now. Most of the children were either crying or yelling angrily by now. Third, first, second grade, they’d all been reduced to infancy by the unexpected predicament they found themselves in.
“What is that place?” Rafiq asked hoarsely. “It’s not a school!”
The driver drove the school bus into the black barn and darkness descended on Cara and the rest of the children.
Former FBI Agent Susan Parker and her partner Naved Seth race against time to save a school bus full of kids from a sadistic psychopath who seeks to mete out retribution for past offenses committed by the children’s parents.
In what may be the most challenging case of her career and the most formidable opponent, Susan must overcome impossible odds in order to find the child abductor before the worst happens. In order to do so, Susan must confront the ghosts of her own past as well as the shocking truth about her own parentage.
Is there a connection between the abduction of the children and the brutal murder of Susan’s husband Amit Kapoor? The answers may lie within her own family, and the revelations she uncovers in the course of her investigation will rock her world to its foundations.
Haunted by her husband’s murder, Susan finally gets the answers she’s seeking, but they come with a devil’s bargain: She can either choose to mete out justice to the murderer who made her a widow, or save the children. And despite her desperate need to put the past to bed and achieve closure, she may not really have a choice at all.
Because one of those abducted children happens to be Susan’s own daughter, Natalie!
And once the killer learns Natalie’s mother’s identity, it will put a target on the 8 year old girl’s life.
Can Susan find the dreaded Black Barn before it’s too late?
Even if she does find it, she will still need to confront perhaps the most evil criminal she’s ever faced.
And when a woman as dedicated to righteousness as Susan confronts a person so unspeakably evil, only one of them can survive the encounter.
Don’t miss the first book in a page turning, heart racing new mystery thriller series featuring a kickass detective protagonist. Readers of Lisa Regan and Robert Dugoni will love every thrilling page!
