Single mom Jamie runs into a shopping center to get a birthday gift for a party she is taking her girls to. Ten year old Kylie and eight year old Bailey are gone when she returns. Soon bounty hunter Alice Vega is called in from California. Local police are understaffed and overwhelmed by the case but reject assistance. Alice, however, is working for the family and has a knack for finding missing kids. Alice teams up with local PI Max Caplan. He knows the area and is a former cop. Max is a divorced dad to sixteen year old Nell, a significant force in her own right. The action is good, the characters are great and the writing well done. In the end, the story strips you of any hope for the goodness of (some) people. It seems fairly realistic as far as the motivations of the perpetrators even if the actions of a couple of the characters seem a little fantastic.
