A single act of kindness plunges Wallace’s resolute hero into a dangerous world of human trafficking in his latest novel. Christopher Jones’ seemingly innocuous act of kindness—giving a young Korean woman a ride to the Greyhound bus station—quickly spirals into a tumultuous descent into an insidious underworld of human trafficking. Suddenly, his name is slandered, and unspeakable danger lurks around every corner. With bloodthirsty Korean mobsters hot on his trail, he turns to a hardened Iraq War Veteran and a determined preacher’s widow to take on the forces of criminality. As death looms over them, they march forward on a daring mission to try and battle the opposing forces—if they can stay alive long enough. Wallace weaves an intricate tapestry of devious villains, escalating tension, and current events to create a chilling, all-too-plausible tale of the modern-day slavery of human trafficking. His characters are sympathetic, and as the plot thickens, the momentum builds with dizzying speed until resolution is reached. Fast-paced, action-packed, and emotionally charged, this seamless blend of tense thriller and eye-opening insight into the sophisticated networks of human traffickers and their powerless victims is an absolute must-read.
