Two wealthy boys vanish without a trace from an elite New Jersey neighborhood, leaving investigators baffled for a decade. When Win, a skilled but ruthless vigilante, finally locates one of the missing teenagers in London, he enlists his friend Myron Bolitar to help bring both boys home. This eleventh installment in the Myron Bolitar series marks a departure by featuring chapters written from Win's perspective for the first time. The search leads Myron and Win through a complex web of family secrets, organized crime, and hidden motives as they race to uncover what really happened ten years ago. The investigation forces both men to confront questions about loyalty, justice, and what truly makes a family. While Win pursues his own brand of brutal justice, Myron must balance his commitment to doing what's right with protecting those he loves. The novel explores themes of belonging and moral compromise, asking what price people will pay to protect their own definition of home. Through its dual narration, it examines how different characters justify their choices when faced with impossible situations.
