Available in EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

Detective Shayla Voss is only months into her new badge when she’s called to County ER in the middle of the night. The runaway brought in is young, terrified, and insistent: she can’t go back. She speaks of locked rooms, punishment disguised as discipline, and a man the children are forced to call Papa Abel. To Shayla, this isn’t teenage rebellion. It’s fear—the kind born from abuse. But Child Protective Services calls it routine; a therapeutic home for wayward kids, nothing more. With bureaucracy closing in and the clock ticking until the girl is sent back, Shayla makes a choice that will define her career. When tragedy strikes, six children are dead and Shayla Voss is thrust into the national spotlight—celebrated by some, condemned by others. And in the ashes of her first case, she learns the thin gray line between justice and survival isn’t a line at all…it’s a fire. Perfect for readers of Michael Connelly, Kendra Elliot, and Mary Kubica
