When Deirdre and her father rescue two young boys living rough in a city park, they think they're doing a good deed. But nothing is ever simple in Dee's world-not anymore. As they try to uncover the truth behind the boys' flight from foster care, a darker, more sinister thread begins to unravel. The more Dee digs, the more danger she exposes-not just for herself, but for everyone she loves.
Fresh from saving her vigilante father from the FBI, Deirdre barely has time to breathe before a new threat emerges: the man she calls the vampire dude has wormed his way into her sister's home, hiding in plain sight. She doesn't know what he wants-but she knows he's dangerous. And this time, she's on her own.
Forced to operate outside the law, and facing enemies who play dirty, Deirdre must protect two traumatized boys, outsmart a manipulative predator, and defend her family-all while figuring out who she can trust.
She's no superhero. Just a girl with grit, sarcasm, and a sense of justice that won't quit. But in a world where the system fails the most vulnerable, sometimes it takes someone ordinary to do the extraordinary. The Loyalty of Children is a fast-paced, character-driven thriller about trust, survival, and the high cost of doing what's right.

- The Silence of Children series covers the seriousness of crimes against children, and the ruthlessness of those who make their fortunes from it, without going into explicit detail.'
- 'Just finished The Silence of Children, and I am blown away. Fantastic book that moved me.'
- 'I'm on chapter 12 already, and have to stop or I won't get to work tomorrow. It's brilliant! Followed by: Clever ending. I was cursing the author for stopping!'
- The Price of Children reads like a psychological breakdown of life and all its depravities. Chris Lewando's fiction makes us face our imperfections, our humanity, our compassion, and what's important in life.'
- 'Wonderful, brave characters: Dad, Deidre, Greg, Amy, Kev; the peripherals shine as bright as the main characters.'
- 'The third book in the series does not disappoint. I love that the characters have evolved over the course of the 3 books. In the beginning, Deirdre is woefully unprepared to take on her new role protecting children who have fallen through the cracks. The cases she encounters open up more questions than answers. Why do some abused children grow up with empathy, while some want to inflict their pain on others? Why do some parents want their child's life to be everything it can be, while others want to force their failed dreams on their children? This is a thought-provoking study of human nature complete with a heart pounding ending. It kept me up all night.'
- 'This series just keeps getting better!'
