As an investigative journalist, Jake Carlson has made a
career of digging up the truth. Award-winning work for
the network news and NPR have led to a lucrative job
as a correspondent for a popular television news show.
But soon, his life and career are derailed when he loses
his wife, leaving him to raise their adopted son Sam.
Afraid of being left parentless, Sam yearns to fi nd his
biological mother. Using his investigative skills to find
the truth for his son, Jake uncovers a horrifying ring of
deceit and black market child trafficking that he could
never have imagined. Worse, Jake is inextricably tied to
this nefarious syndicate--it gave him Sam. When it's
revealed that Sam's bloodline involves a complicated
inheritance from a politically powerful New England
family, Jake knows that it's no longer only his life that is
at risk, but his son's as well.
