Ex-cop, ex-con Bruno Johnson stumbles into a criminal organization that exploits women and children-he must fight his way out and home
Bruno Johnson is hiding out from the U.S. law in Costa Rica with his pregnant wife, Marie, and the ten kids they rescued from toxic homes in South Central Los Angeles. When Marie encounters a difficult labor and delivery, their good friend Dr. Vargas rescues both her and Bruno's infant son. So Bruno feels indebted when asked to escort his daughter Layla, a college student in Los Angeles, back home to Costa Rica.
When Bruno arrives in Los Angeles, he finds the problem with Layla is complicated and dire. Layla has fallen in with Johnny, the leader of a vast and notorious criminal empire that exploits women and children. She says she's had his child and that he has taken the baby.
Bruno enlists the help of his old friend Karl Drago-and his dog, Waldo-to aid in his search for Layla's baby-a baby her parents disavow. Bruno soon discovers things aren't as they appear, but he will stop at nothing to save the innocent baby and return to his family and newborn son in Costa Rica-providing he can evade capture while on U.S. soil.
Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and David Baldacci
