When Decker does a favor for a friend, Teresa McLaughlin, he unwittingly lets her husband, the sociopath Chris Donatti back into his life. Soon after, Terry goes missing and Donatti disappears and Peter and Rina must take in their 14 year old son. But, as Decker hunts for his missing friend, two young women, both call girls, are found murdered. Coincidence or somthing more nefarious? Who are these women and why are they being murdered? Is a serial killer on the loose or have Decker and his detectives hit upon a prostitution ring gone awry? As Decker navigates a treacherous world of killers, hookers and thieves, he is thrust into a dark world of violence and perversions where women are commodities, bought and sold to the highest bidder. There is peril hidden at every twist and turn. And equally as important, where is Terry McLaughlin or Chris Donatti? What will happen to their young son in their absence? Would Decker be endangering his family by keeping the adolescent boy under their roof for more than a day or two? Because with Donatti on the loose, no one is ever really safe.
