From the New York Times bestselling author of Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne series comes a breathtaking thriller about a man whose only chance to rescue his family is to return to the past he thought he'd left behind.

Tommy Miller is a man with deadly skills, hiding in Florida under a false identity. After being set up on an overseas mission, he's on the run from terrorists—and from the government who betrayed him. So when his wife and daughter are violently abducted, it seems his ghosts are finally catching up with him.

But Tommy isn't the only one with secrets. His wife, Teresa, has been concealing her own dangerous past, and as Tommy races to rescue his family, he must peel away the clues she's left behind. With a hotshot police detective, Lindy Jax, close on his trail, Tommy follows a twisted path from Florida to the Bahamas, one that brings him face-to-face with ruthless enemies.

His search for answers soon puts him on the wrong side of the law—hunted by the police and pursued by men who want him dead. Worst of all, if he hopes to save Teresa and their daughter, Rosalita, he must become the man he once was—a killer operating from the deepest shadows.

But when the lives of the people you love are at stake, rules are made to be broken.

      When a woman with a troubled history goes missing with her infant daughter, two searchers with very different agendas go looking for her. The first of them, Tommy Miller, has been waiting for Venezuelan enforcer Mauricio Perez to catch up with him because he wrongly blames Tommy for the murder of his wife, Almu Perez. So although it makes perfect sense that Perez would have in turn kidnapped Tommy's wife, Teresa, and their daughter, Rosalita, Tommy wonders why Teresa would've packed an emergency bag in preparation for a danger Tommy never told her about. Like Perez, Tommy's not one to let bygones be bygones, and his military training and connections make him just as likely an avenger as Perez--and much likelier than Lindy Jax, the Alachua County Sheriff's Office detective Tommy reports the disappearance to. It doesn't take long for Lindy, who's driven by memories of her own brother's unsolved disappearance when he was 6 and she was 11, to figure out that Tommy's hiding several important details, like Teresa's past connection to billionaire investor Martin Fell, her real name, and the identity of Rosalita's biological father. Basing Teresa's backstory largely on sordid real-life headlines about Jeffrey Epstein and his stable of young women and high-end companion abusers, Freeman ups the stakes by setting Tommy and Lindy against each other--each of them smart, capable, well provisioned, and willing to break every rule--and letting the chips fall where they may. Just in case a few readers find the competition between Tommy and Lindy too predictable, the author reveals a third interested party with a still different agenda. Reliable thrills, bone-crunching action scenes, and satisfying revelations of corruption in high places.

      A former Army Ranger scrambles to locate his missing wife and daughter in this forgettable standalone from Freeman (the Jonathan Stride series). Tommy Miller has been living under an alias to obscure his complicated past as a soldier and member of the Outsiders, an organization of high-ranking American officials prepared to take over the country should the government collapse. He fears his past may have come back to haunt him when his wife, Teresa, and infant daughter, Rosalita, are abducted from their home in Florida. The case is assigned to Lindy Jax, a Black police detective derided by her colleagues as a diversity hire, who’s determined to prove herself by finding the kidnappers. What neither Tommy nor Lindy know is that Teresa has a secret past of her own, in which she was tangled up in the murder of a British Royal involved in sex trafficking. Freeman consistently prioritizes action over character, resulting in a cardboard redux of Taken-style suspense thrillers. It’s a letdown.” Agent: Deborah Schneider, Gelfman Schneider.
