About this ebook

The last person Philadelphia homicide detective Matt Payne expected to hear from again was Texas Ranger Jim Byrth, with whom he’d broken a Mexican human trafficking ring. But Byrth isn’t making a social call. He’s found a connection between the Mexican drug cartels and the Russian mob.

Russian girls are being smuggled through the Caribbean to work in the U.S. as prostitutes, and some of them are dying or just disappearing. The trail leads right to Philadelphia, where teenage girls are being lured from foster homes, police sources are turning up dead, and the lone living witness—the daughter of a prominent family—has gone into hiding.

It’s up to Matt Payne and his Texas Ranger partner to find her—and hope like hell they get to her first.…

Ratings and reviews

Seems to be an error from publisher. Only getting 215 pages when you buy. Should be more than 350. Play Store notified and issues are not fixed.

It was moderately enjoyable, then suddenly was over. I thought they were still building towards something but apparently that was the ending. A little disappointing.

I am totally into crime mysteries. W.E.B. Griffin is the best. I am trying to write a book about real life Law Enforcement Officers. Just not sure how to get it going.
