Lou Boldt is back and entering dark new territory in Ridley Pearson's
gripping thriller. A shipping container washed ashore leads Seattle
television news anchor Stevie McNeal and reporter friend Melissa on the
trail of a scam involving the importation of illegal aliens. A career
stepping-stone for McNeal, the investigation puts her at cross-purposes
with the Seattle Police Department's Lou Boldt and Sergeant John LaMoia.
When Melissa disappears, perhaps at the hands of the Chinese Triad,
McNeal turns from foe to ally and teams up with the detectives on an
investigation that takes them from Seattle's docklands to the offices of
the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
