In a small New York town, a deranged man holds over one hundred schoolchildren hostage. . .

With the SWAT team about to go in, the gymnasium suddenly explodes in flames. Fortunately, all the students escape–except ten-year-old Noah Corbin. Noah's mother, Haley, is frantic. Was her son killed in the explosion? Did he somehow wander away from the scene, hurt and confused?

Or did someone take him?

Haley hires ex-FBI agent Randall Shane because she needs the truth. Their investigation leads them to a desolate area of the Rocky Mountains, and into the resort compound of a notoriously secretive cult ruled by the rich and powerful.

Haley knows they have something to do with Noah's disappearance. But they will protect their secrets. No matter what.

      Haley Corbin refuses to believe that her son is the only child to have died in the explosion of the school gym, so she hires ex-FBI agent Randall Shane. His investigation leads to a cult in the remote Rocky Mountains that has split into two factions in a dangerous power struggle. The voices of Coleen Marlo and Sean Runnette work well here, alternating the narration. Marlo's performance is more emotional and dramatic, which suits her portrayal of the frantic mother who has already lost her husband and will not accept that her son is dead. Both narrators handle the individual characters' voices (male and female) in a convincing way. While the plot requires a suspension of disbelief, this is an enjoyable listen. S.S.R.

      In Jordan's heart-pounding third Randall Shane venture (after 2007's Trapped
      ), the FBI agent turned lost child locator is called upon to do the impossible. After an explosion at the elementary school in tiny Humble, N.Y., 10-year-old Noah Corbin's remains—a few bits of tissue and blood—have been identified. Stubbornly refusing to admit that her son is dead, and having worn out the patience of local authorities, Haley Corbin contacts Shane. Before long, between his own investigative skills and a little help from FBI buddies, Shane starts to peel away the layers of what appears to be an abduction plot by a cultlike group with personal ties to Noah and his deceased father. The ensuing chase and rescue in a remote Colorado mountain aerie stretch credulity at times but provide a satisfying romp.
