Rack is a man who is spoiling for a fight, but he's currently living in a place where people don't possess a similar pugnacity. When he meets June, he finds a woman capable of smoothing his rough edges while also giving him a battle worth waging. June Manet is an environmental lawyer, tired of the injustice she has witnessed in the crooked judicial system. She has been concerned about the exploitation of illegal immigrants, especially as it relates to human trafficking. She enlists Rack to help set up a sting wherein the corrupt partnerships between government officials, cartels, and other parties can be exposed. June knows of a sanctuary settlement for immigrants that is run by a benevolent man and retired lawyer named Wilkins Micawber. Micawber is the pivotal figure June and Rack will need to utilize for their plans to be successful.
The forces of good clash with the sinister machinations of crooked law enforcement, plotting politicians, and organized crime in this dynamic novel. The dramatic narrative revolves around Rack, crusading lawyer June, the sagacious Wilkins Micawber, and brave widow Paula De Alvarado. Rack is a character of brawn, intelligence, and humor, but he is surrounded by equally compelling characters. The story possesses both intrigue and great depth. Human trafficking is not an easy topic to read about, but the plot handles the subject with empathy and gravitas. At its core, this is a fascinating tale about fighting for justice and standing up for the vulnerable, culminating in an unforgettable conclusion. This book will find devoted readers in those who have enjoyed the work of Robert Crais' Taken or are familiar with books such as The Franklin Scandal by Nick Bryant.
