Army veteran Mason Sharpe is killing time in downtown Pittsburgh when he sees a young woman dragged into a van in broad daylight. He hurls himself into the fight, but the kidnappers escape—leaving him bloodied on the asphalt.
The victim is Stacey Whitaker, estranged daughter of Pittsburgh's mayor. Minutes later, hacked billboards light up the city with her terrified face and a chilling demand: MAYOR WHITAKER—TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH.
As panic spreads, Mason teams up with police Sergeant Kelly Gallagher to hunt the kidnappers through the city's streets. But every clue pulls them deeper into a conspiracy with too many players, too many motives—and none of them clean.
The clock is ticking. A young woman's life hangs in the balance.
The good news? Mason Sharpe was built for moments like this. And he's about to do something the bad guys don't expect—step directly into the Crossfire.
