He's not a cop. He's not a hero. Jamie Guard gets involved when law enforcement looks the other way.

On the night of his retirement, fixer Jameson Guard gets a phone call he never expected.

A woman from his past is begging for help. Her eighteen-year-old daughter has been missing for six months. The police have written her off as a runaway. Jameson is a fixer by trade — not a detective — but when he arrives in small-town Ohio, something doesn’t sit right. The girl’s car has been wiped clean. Her phone has vanished. And the people who should be searching hardest seem determined to look the other way.

As Jameson hunts for the missing girl, a simple disappearance unravels into something far more dangerous. A town hiding uncomfortable truths. Dangerous men pulling strings from the shadows. And a trail that leads deeper than he could ever imagine.
