He reemerges in the small town of Barton, South Dakota, working under an assumed name as a church handyman. It's a serene existence of tending to the church grounds and avoiding questions. Until he meets seventeen-year-old Majed, a Syrian refugee trying to build a life in Barton with his single mother, as he's running for his life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTwo men with hard eyes are close behind. Argento steps in, and Majed's pursuers retreat with a thin excuse about a stolen wallet. It's a story Argento doesn't buy for a second. Digging deeper, he uncovers something far more lethal than a street-level shakedown. Majed isn't just in trouble--he's a target. And the hunters are closing in. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo safeguard Majed, Argento hits the road with the boy, pushing west. And along the way it becomes clear that whatever Majed knows--or carries--someone powerful wants it and will kill to get it. But Argento can't let that happen. Because he's made a promise. Protect the boy. Or die trying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Explosive and compelling!\" --Lisa Gardner, #1 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e bestselling author of \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStill See You Everywhere\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdam Plantinga \u003c\/b\u003eis part of the Internet Crimes Against Children unit with the San Francisco Police Department whose first two nonfiction books-- \u003ci\u003e400 Things Cops Know \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Police Craft\u003c\/i\u003e-- have become his calling cards to the world of thrillers. \u003ci\u003e400 Things \u003c\/i\u003ewas nominated for an Agatha, a Macavity, and was deemed \"the new Bible for crime writers\" by the \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e.
