THE PRETTY UGLY MISSION is set against the rainy Seattle back streets, and Las Vegas on and off the strip, and places on the road as the One Safe Place Security team returns. The team takes on cold-case crimes that have torn families apart and who still want answers and, if possible, retribution.
The One Safe Place Security team also addresses the global issue of child exploitation and trafficking. The team goes on a mission to stop the exploitation of mostly young Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous-Native girls and others. Girls are disappearing into sex trafficking rings through pretty ugly passageways. A whirlwind of predicaments and immoral acts entangles the criminal mind with Psalms Black and his crew of the One Safe Place Security Team. They traverse state and international lines as the sexual deviant hides in plain sight, often within the homes of the wealthy and influential.
The Pretty Ugly Mission is a thriller of life-or-death efforts to prevent crimes against humanity. From seedy motels to luxury penthouses, and from back roads to major highways, the team confronts threats past and present. The story also explores emotional isolation, love, romance, and intimacy. The social and sometimes off-the-cuff political commentary draws the reader into an inner conversation as the world sometimes spins out of control.
Driven by unique instincts, specialized skills, and a moral code of By Any Means Necessary, the team is committed to stopping lawlessness and preventing human trafficking. The novel offers tense action, clever twists, and strong foreshadowing.
The sexy former Secret Service Agent Psalms Black and his team are complex characters who confront personal flaws while risking their lives to help others escape organized crime. The Pretty Ugly Mission balances intense action with psychological depth, appealing to readers interested in cold-case mysteries and contemporary criminal suspense.
Readers who enjoyed Alvin L.A. Horn's previous novels-Perfect Circle, One Safe Place, Bad Before Good, and Those in Between-or who appreciate the suspense of films and series such as True Detective, Man on Fire, Cross, The Equalizer, The Bourne Supremacy, Kill Bill, and a bit of the old-school Shaft vibes will find this novel especially appealing.
