His wife vanished with their son. Now two more children are missing—and Mitch Tanner refuses to fail them.
From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author L.T. Ryan comes the first novel in a gritty crime-thriller series about a homicide detective fighting to hold on to the family he has left.For a year, Philadelphia homicide detective Mitch Tanner has chased every whisper of a clue to his missing family while raising the six-year-old daughter left behind. Work is the only thing holding him together. It’s also where his anger keeps pushing him over the line.
A woman lies dead at the foot of her stairs. Her husband insists it was an accident—then runs. Before Tanner and his partner can bring him in, two children are abducted from a school in broad daylight.
The cases lead to the same circle of men—and a plan more vicious than Tanner imagined. One child is critically vulnerable. Both are running out of time. And every hour Tanner spends hunting them resurrects the nightmare of the son he still cannot find.
The FBI wants control. His superiors want obedience. Tanner wants the children home alive.
He will break rules, cross lines, and follow the kidnappers wherever they run. But if his rage gets ahead of his judgment, the next body he finds may be the one he can never forgive himself for.
Because somewhere, his own son may still be waiting for him.
And Tanner will not lose another child.
The Depth of Darkness launches the Mitch Tanner series with a dark, fast-paced blend of police procedural, child-abduction thriller, and urban crime suspense, featuring a relentless, rule-breaking detective, loyal-partner dynamics, and deeply personal family stakes. Perfect for readers of James Patterson’s Alex Cross thrillers, Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch novels, and David Baldacci’s Amos Decker series.
