Title: A Deadly Distance
Description: **DEADLY SILENCE. UNSEEN ENEMIES. ONE MAN STANDS IN THE WAY.**

*Children are vanishing without a trace. No ransom demands. No warnings. Just gone.*

When Jack Noble is dragged into the twisted underworld of child trafficking, the mission becomes personal. Manipulated by a shadowy mastermind with unimaginable power, Jack finds himself thrust into the role of both hunter and hunted.

Every step deeper into the darkness reveals more than Jack is prepared to face. The deeper he goes, the higher the stakes rise—not just for the innocent lives at risk, but for his own survival. As the bodies stack up and the clock ticks down, Jack faces a moral crossroads that will challenge every belief he's ever held.

Relentless action. Gut-wrenching tension. And a villain as cold and calculating as Jack himself.
