Allen Carmichael came back from Vietnam a lifetime ago--but only now was he ready to return home. For years, hes lived on the fringes of the law, using a soldiers skills to keep watch over those too young to defend themselves. His specialty has been rescuing children from abusive parents and escorting them to loving homes. But after twenty-five years, he is ready to take on his final case--a case that could destroy him.

The boys name is Jamie: He believes his father is going to kill him. Allen is convinced that the twelve-year-old is right and devises a strategy to save him. His last job done, Allen heads back to Folly Island, where he plans to settle into a quiet life. But not long after his return, a small plane piloted by the boys fathers crashes, leaving behind debris--but no body.
