A migrant crisis. A corrupt harbor town. Who will stand for those who have become invisible to the rest of the world?

People have become one of the world's most valuable commodities. Trafficked on the promise of a new life only to be hidden away as modern-day slaves. When Lena, a raped and badly beaten Syrian woman, literally falls into Lindsey Ryan's life, she's left with no choice but to find her part in this new war and play it as best she can.

But before she can work out a safe plan to get Lena away from her very own hell at the hands of Patrick Adebayo, Lindsey hears of an unconscious child being smuggled into Patrick's building just two doors up. Despite having Patrick's unwanted attention, she has to help the child and get Lena to safety regardless of the cost. In doing so, she finds herself face to face with the worst of humanity.

Added to her own private battle with PTSD, former soldier Lindsey Ryan is in a race against time and must once again fight for her life. But if she fails to protect those around her, what if anything, will that life be worth?

      Former Irish soldier Lindsey Ryan (introduced in While Nobody is Watching, 2021) has retreated into self-imposed exile, now operating a tea shop and wrestling with PTSD under the supervision of her utterly charming service dog, Frank. Her new home, Cobh, is deceptively quaint, having silently acquiesced to kingpin brothel-owner Patrick Adebayo's tight grip. Lindsey determinedly keeps her head down until a naked, battered woman drops over her fence, chased by Adebayo's men. She hides tortured, trafficked Lena from Adebayo even as he embargoes her shop's supplies. When Lena can't refute the whispers that Adebayo is trafficking children, Lindsey surprises herself with another successful rescue that must somehow end with escaping his underworld army. Forced to seek help, Lindsey pulls together a heartwarming, rough-edged team consisting of spunky tea-shop manager Eileen as well as Eileen's smuggler brothers and Lindsey's former squad-mates. The irony of Lindsey reaching out from exile to embark on a martyr's mission adds depth and high-stakes suspense for readers, who will invest in her character early. A gripping thriller.
