Description: Synopsis

A year ago Jeff Tribe got himself released from prison on a technicality to track down his fiancée’s true killer, the crime for which he was unjustly convicted. Now Tribe’s estranged aunt wants him to use those same detective skills to find her kidnapped daughter Charlene who was taken off a city street in broad daylight eight days ago. The police have no leads so Tribe teams up with a former boyhood pal, Esai Morales, who loved Charlene when the two were teenagers but is now a local criminal, and together they search for the missing woman from Massachusetts, to New Jersey, and down the coast to North Carolina. Along the way Morales painfully relives his fateful romance with young Charlene while Tribe deals with a shoebox full of memories from the father who abandoned him and who could now still be alive, two cops who may or may not want to help find Charlene, outlaw bikers, and a dark secret that will rip apart what’s left of Tribe’s tattered family.
Notes: “Roberge has written a refreshing and original tale that pulls at the reader’s heartstrings even as its almost constant action thrills and enrages.” - Midwest Book Review
