In this chilling tale of law gone awry, Grace Silva, orphaned at thirteen, rises from a life of poverty and violence to become a respected federal judge, embodying the rule of law. However, her steadfast beliefs are tested when her past collides with her present. Joe Faroe, once a promising political figure, has learned that laws are often manipulated by flawed politicians. After losing his career, freedom, and the woman he loved, he becomes a kidnap specialist for St. Kilda Consulting, operating in the shadows where governments cannot intervene. Faroe is skilled, intelligent, and ruthless, but a friend's death forces him to retire from this dangerous world, disillusioned with a society that resists salvation. When Grace seeks his help, their intertwined histories pull him back into the darkness. Together, they must confront a violent killer who threatens Grace's son, forcing Faroe to navigate a treacherous landscape where the stakes are life and death. As they race against time, both must confront their pasts and the harsh realities of a world where the law often fails to protect the innocent.
