BETWEEN THE COVERS
While raiding the house of a possible pedophile, Dee discovers a kidnapped girl who has no intention of waiting for the law... The girl has two sensationally beautiful and ambitious older sisters. The parents are pushing them towards fame and fortune. Did they sell the younger daughter to fund this dream? Meanwhile, Dee is determined to bring the pedophile gang to justice. She is determined to discover the identity of the man who kidnapped her, but it seems he has his own plans. As secrets unravel and the line between protector and vigilante blurs, Dee discovers that saving a child can come at a devastating cost. Taut, unflinching, and heartbreakingly human, The Price of Children digs deep into the shadows where innocence is stolen—and where doing the right thing might mean breaking every rule.
As vigilante instincts clash with the slow grind of due process, Dee must decide who she can trust—the FBI, her fugitive father, the elusive biker Greg, or no one at all. Unflinching and emotionally raw, The Price of Children dives headlong into the murky grey between morality and vengeance. Chris Lewando delivers another pulse-pounding thriller—one that will leave you questioning where justice ends and obsession begins.
IN READERS’ WORDS
★★★★★ Another excellent read by Chris Lewando. Keep them coming!
‘Chris Lewando is an amazing writer, no matter what genre she chooses. She is a master at setting the mood, and excels at showing multiple shades of grey in a black and white issue. Chris always leaves me thinking.’
★★★★★ Wow
‘This blew me away! No rest for me weary. Dee's father gets captured, among so many twists going on at the same time. Mysteriously the biker, Greg, still happens to be around when everything looks haywire. Amazing action. Definitely can't wait for the next book!’
★★★★★ Great follow up
‘An amazing follow up to book one. The plot is still captivating. Vigilante justice is wrong; however, what can you do when law enforcement drags their feet, can’t do things fast enough, or are paid to look the other way. Who do you trust? I love the characters. We see Greg appearing and disappearing as is his normal routine. We watch Dee trying to figure out which direction her life should go. A rollercoaster of emotions. I can’t wait for book 3!’
★★★★★ Entertaining
‘Entertaining story. I enjoyed the believable, intriguing characters, the action and most of all the suspense. Great job.’
★★★★★ A thrill a second
‘I thought the first book, The Silence of the Children, was spectacular, and this book continues the fast paced, thrill-based writing as the first. Child abduction is a difficult topic, even more so because it isn’t fiction. In this book, Dee and her father break into a house looking for information and inadvertently rescue a 5-year-long abuse victim, Amy. Even though a kidnapper is caught, it is only the tip of the iceberg. Even more connections are made to Deirdre’s previous life. Two people are murdered and now they do not know who to trust. A worthwhile read that I could not put down.’
