Just as devastating medical bills are about to force the Ian McGinnis Auto Daredevil Thrill Show into bankruptcy, a tire company dangles a huge sponsorship that could save the show and family fortunes. But, of course, there's a catch. . . Ian must do it to save his family, but it could kill him — or the young motorcycle stunt rider who has fallen in love with his daughter.

She appears only at night, watching and waiting… When local children begin to vanish, Officer Alex Mercer is positive the cases are tied to recent threats against his family—especially since the first girl to go missing is his best friend’s daughter.

As if that will stop him. While working off the clock, he stumbles upon something so chilling it finally provides the proof that he was right all along: the kidnappings are part of an elaborate worldwide scheme. Alex will stop at nothing to take down the dangerous criminal empire… if they don’t end him first.
