Three months have passed since Howie Farber last saw Samantha Caulfield, his best friend's daughter, and he identifies an article of clothing that belongs to her outside a tavern in Georgia.

Before the sun rises the next day, Juan finds himself in an unimaginable situation; Howie and the father of the missing child are there to interrogate him before they involve the authorities.The police become aware of the situation from a different perspective. When the wife of the kidnapper reports her husband missing, police initiate a search for a man they assume is the victim of a hate crime.Before they discover the truth, police officials, concerned wives and an accomplice will require the father and three friends to make decisions that run counter to everything they have set out to accomplish.

About the author

Kendall Smith’s foray into the writing world began with his self-published debut novel Double-Edged Justice in 2007. His experience sharpened his perspective on the business and craft itself. After a brief stint as a political-satire blogger, he returned to his roots within the thriller and mystery genre when Vault 21-12 was released in 2015.

Shortly thereafter, he put pen to paper about a subject where his passion lies as a parent: Fatherhood. His forthcoming book, Rookie Father, will be released by Familius Publishing. The book is available today at major online book retailers and will be distributed nationally in early January 2022.
