She came to India with a global NGO to help save lives-but asking the wrong questions might cost her own.
The body of a teenage girl is delivered to Dr. Perry Roslyn's clinic with no name-and no baby. Yet the evidence is undeniable: she gave birth only hours before she died.
When Perry notifies the police, her complaint is buried. Tracing the girl to Sacred Mercy Orphanage, Perry finds only evasions and outright lies. Within hours, witnesses vanish, files disappear-and Perry realizes someone is watching her.
Running out of allies, Perry calls on her best friend, New York-based journalist Joy Luk. Together they dig deeper-and uncover a stronghold of secrets far darker than either imagined. Official records are being fraudulently doctored. Orphanage funding flows from shadowy international sources. And whispers on the street connect Sacred Mercy to organized crime gangs and an illicit trade in human beings.
The more Perry and Joy press for truth, the clearer it becomes: behind Sacred Mercy lies a far-reaching network of corruption, trafficking, and blood money.
At the center of the web sits someone powerful, connected, and incalculably ruthless... and Perry has just pulled the first thread.
A devastating thriller about courage, the value of human life, and the price of doing what's right. Perfect for fans of Tess Gerritsen and Lisa Gardner.
