Penance eBook

FBI Agent Alex Penance chases after a cartel''s human-trafficking ring, uncovering horrific scenes as the gang''s safe houses are found throughout abandoned farmhouses of rural Mississippi and swamps of Louisiana. Each location he uncovers reveals a more sinister treatment of a group of missing girls who find themselves in the middle of the cat-and-mouse chase. Working alongside Assistant District Attorney Annie Hunt, Penance zeroes in on the cartel''s headquarters outside of New Orleans.

Complicating Penance''s work on the case and his budding relationship with Annie, the agent is tasked with providing security for beautiful and flirtatious country music star Marla Hendricks. A promotional concert to benefit the beleaguered town of Sawyer, Mississippi, the star proves to be a distraction Penance doesn''t need as lives are on the line.

As kidnappings devolve into murder scenes, the race is on to save the girls before it is too late.
