Oliver Van De Merwe was a Special Agent within the South African government until his own case backfired and left him fleeing... barely with his and his daughter's lives. They resettled in St. Louis and he began a new life as a private detective finding missing persons. A decade later, after solving the biggest case of his career, everything in his life takes another downward spiral as the past catches up to the future when the town mayor, supposedly a saint, turns up dead and his daughter is kidnapped. Before time runs out, with the help of a trusted local police detective and an ambitious, stunning, and savvy journalist, Oliver must find the daughter while simultaneously settling old scores with those from his past.
