Backwater

When a caller claiming to have abducted ten-year-old Andrea Curren refuses to provide her father with "proof of life," Blake Curren turns the tables on the kidnappers. If the girl is not returned within twenty-four hours, he offers the amount demanded by the abductors to anyone who can return his daughter safely, or kill the people who have taken her. In this page-turner mystery, two local teens find themselves caught in the murky backwaters of a deadly hunt, as a professional killer and a retired newsman race the FBI to determine what has happened to Andrea Curren.
