A sixteen-year-old girl has abandoned her Mormon family for a pimp. Her father is devastated and asks his church’s elders to help hire a private investigator. It seems like an easy case for Dan Reno, except for one thing—the church bishop insists the pimp be put out of business permanently.
As Reno searches for the pimp, he knows every day is critical, for the naïve teenager has thrown herself into the mouth of a monster. But the pimp lives off the grid, and without a digital footprint, he’s difficult to find. Chasing leads across Nevada, Reno’s getting close, but the case takes a deadly turn when the pimp’s accomplice, a man with no boundaries, gets involved.
When Reno’s old buddy, investigator Cody Gibbons, arrives in Las Vegas to visit his daughter, he insists on helping. And no one better understands what’s required when doing battle with the most abhorrent criminals, consequences be damned.
But not even Gibbons could have guessed what motivated the girl to run away in the first place.
