Book Synopsis
Considering they once disemboweled a couple, then filled the empty body cavities with charcoal and had a BBQ, it’s little wonder no one betrays the Akazu. Barbaric revenge is the gang’s prominent commodity. Abigail Thorton would have no reason to be associated with the Akazu. She’s a dedicated trauma surgeon living the American dream: a challenging and rewarding career, adoring husband and three children on the brink of their own greatness. But Abigail suddenly finds her name at the top of the gang’s agenda when a washed-up reporter desperate to revive her career, airs a news story that inadvertently endangers Abigail’s life. Abby has humiliated the Akazu, on national TV no less, and they intend to make her pay.
When the reporter realizes what she’s done, she is beside herself with guilt. She cannot allow the Thortons to be another one of her journalistic casualties. But the road to redemption is littered with risk, dishonor and deceit. And it dead ends at remorse.
