Former Army Ranger Marcus O'Bannion and homicide cop Scarlett Bishop have met only briefly but when Scarlett receives a phone call in the middle of the night, she immediately recognises the hauntingly smooth voice asking her to meet him in one of Cincinnati's roughest areas.
On arriving, Scarlett finds the body of a seventeen-year-old Asian girl and Marcus injured. A fierce champion of victims' rights, Marcus claims the young woman was working for an affluent local family and the last time he saw her she was terrified, abused, and clearly in need of help. Having agreed to meet her, both Marcus and the young woman were targeted for death.
As they investigate, Scarlett and Marcus are pulled into the dangerous world of human trafficking where they soon realise they are going to have to become as ruthless as those they are hunting.
Because if they don't, how many other girls may end up alone in the dark?
A Snippet from Alone in the Dark!
Prologue
Cincinnati, Ohio, Tuesday, August 4, 2.45 A.M.
Where is he? He promised he'd be here.
Controlling her panic, Tala looked around, quick furtive glances. All she saw were the neighbourhood residents, going about their business. Of course, at this time of the night, very little of their business was good.
Nobody noticed her. Nobody had followed her. She hoped.
She shrank back into the shadows, deciding to give him another minute. She had to get back before they discovered she'd slipped away. If they hadn't already.
And if they had . . . Her life was over. Maybe literally. And not only her life. She'd risked the lives of every member of her family, too. If she were caught, all of their lives would be forfeit. Yet she'd risked it. Because of the baby.
Everything she did was for that little bundle who smiled and cooed because she wasn't yet old enough to know how bad the world really was.
Tala would sell her soul to keep that baby safe, to keep her from being sucked into this hell as Tala had been when she was only fourteen years old.
