A Wall Street Journal best seller

The gripping third book in the best-selling Sydney Rose Parnell series.

Railway cop and former Marine Sydney Parnell is on the hunt. So is a killer she knows only as the Alpha. They’re in a race to find Malik, an 11-year-old Iraqi boy with secrets to guard. Sydney wants to help him. The Alpha wants him dead.

From the dark alleys of Mexico City to the mean streets of Denver, Sydney and her K9 partner, Clyde, use their wits and determination to chase down the ruthless killer. But when their path collides with his, Sydney realizes just how far-reaching and sinister the Alpha’s past is. And how far he’s willing to go to save his secrets.

This series is wonderful, this series also touched the part of my heart that will never forget my father’s Vietnam journey. Emily is a flawless performer and the writing is equally as brilliant. Thank you

This is a well written series. Complex characters, psychological depth, and informative, well paced, clever plots. The author is now on my "follow" list and I hope to read more in the future. I especially like the quotes from Parnell's diary that head the chapters. It helps me keep my place.

This is a very good, and exciting series. Mostly about good verses evil, and the tolls that the military takes, and keeps forever.

Great series

I really enjoyed all the books so far in the series. I believe I have one more to go. This author has created excellent suspenseful thrillers. She describes what needs to be detailed and does it in such a way that the story is excellent. The amount of research that she has had to put into these books is unbelievable. I look forward to the next one.

Another very good suspense
