Before Allyson can get answers, the call drops. Deputy US Marshal Sal Alvarez knows how easily hope can be weaponized, and he isn’t convinced this reappearance is what it seems. As he digs into Vanessa’s new identity, he finds missing years, altered records, and connections that don’t add up. A rebuilt life. A buried past. And someone who may be watching Allyson search.
Allyson doesn’t care if it’s dangerous—if her friend is alive, she’s going to find her. But the evidence begins pointing toward something bigger than a long‑ago disappearance, and the director of the Northwest Counter‑Terrorism Taskforce warns that this could be a trap.
Sal is already questioning his future with the team. Now the woman he can’t walk away from is running straight toward danger. If Vanessa isn’t who she claims to be, Allyson won’t just lose answers this time—she could lose everything.
