"A lazy cruise up the Atlantic Coast is all ex-Navy SEAL turned private investigator Will Novak has in mind until thugs ambush him. Novak is kidnapped, drugged, and hauled out of town. Taken to a horse farm deep in Virginia, Novak finds himself at the center of the most dangerous kind of family affair. Irina Blackwood, pregnant and desperate, begs for Novak's help to escape. All that stands in their way is her adoptive father-retired Senator Charles Blackwood, one of the most ruthless power brokers in the nation. Given his tastes for espionage, drug trafficking, and corruption, Blackwood's not interested in a fair fight. And with the police on the payroll and a private gang ready to set Novak up for murder, the odds of justice prevailing-or Novak surviving-are getting slimmer by the minute."--Back cover.
