On the coastal highway where the ocean keeps its distance, the Collins family’s life collapses into arithmetic: routes, deadlines, wire transfers. Daniel Hyde arrives to translate that arithmetic into action, a man whose own scars are evidence of choices that turned violent. The case quickly reveals its darker geometry—the kidnappers have a map of the family’s trust, the police act like chess pieces in someone else’s hand, and the sister whose words were supposed to save them has become the conduit for their ruin.
Hyde must read bodies and maps, listen to signals that mean more than location, and navigate the terrible calculus of leverage—where a wire transfer can turn a breathing girl into a discarded asset. With short, electric chapters and relentless momentum, this novel asks an ethical question at the heart of every rescue: when trust becomes a weapon, who ends up paying the cost?
