Twin Motives

In the serene town of Dyre, Michigan, a bone-chilling event transpires when a bus transporting twelve children suddenly vanishes, along with a faithful driver.

Meet Paige McDonald, a former Marine who has recently joined the Major Crimes division at Dyre PD. Her new boss entrusts her with the task of delving into the mystifying abductions, thrusting headlong into a high-stakes contest of wits. Initially, the situation appears to be a straightforward kidnapping for ransom, possibly orchestrated by an inept Detroit street gang looking for an effortless payday.

When the discovery of the deserted bus, its surveillance system rendered useless, and all communication severed, sends shockwaves reverberating through the community, it leaves the detectives scrambling for clues.

While the next twenty-four hours pass without a word from the abductors, Paige uncovers a staggering revelation—an ominous conspiracy lies beneath the surface. The kidnapping serves as just the opening act in a malevolent plot, poised to unleash havoc upon innumerable innocent lives. In a heart-stopping pace, they race to find the victims, only to be thwarted at every turn. Is an insider close to the investigation leaking information?

Will Paige McDonald and her fellow detective be able to recover the scattered children and cross international borders to cut off the head of the faction prepared to destroy countless innocent lives to further their evil goal?
