When the dive team is called in to recover a body from a submerged car, they aren't prepared to find an encrypted laptop--or an unsettling connection between investigator Adam Campbell and the dead accountant.
Adam turns to his friend Dr. Sabrina Fleming--a professor at the local university with unparalleled computer security and forensics skills--to recover the files from the laptop. But the deeper they dig, the deadlier the investigation becomes. When evidence uncovers a human trafficking ring and implicates members of Adam's own family, he and Sabrina will have to risk everything to solve the case.
The truth could set hundreds free--but someone is willing to do whatever it takes to silence anyone who threatens to reveal their secrets. Award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn invites readers back to Carrington, North Carolina, where everything is not as it seems and sinister elements lurk behind the idyllic façade.
My Thoughts
This story focuses on investigator Adam Campbell and Dr. Sabrina Fleming. Sabrina was my favorite character from book one. She's 'refreshingly honest', saying pretty much whatever she's thinking, and is a genius with computers. She's not the best at reading emotions or social situations, but that's one of the most endearing things about her. She's awesome. And Adam! One word - swoonworthy! He comes from a super wealthy family, but he's down to earth. He's sweet, humble, good-natured. A true gentleman. I could go on and on, lol.
This book touches upon some heavy subjects, but I really appreciated that. It's absolutely horrifying that human trafficking and modern-day slavery are happening all around us, right now. I was glad that this book shined a light on these heinous crimes. It can't be talked about enough.
I greatly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys this genre. Even if you haven't read book one, this one stands alone just fine.
