Life is bearable, barely, but then he gets asked to find a missing child, and the lure of getting back into some kind of police work is too much for him to resist. When he teams up with computer whiz Indiana Perkins, he suddenly becomes one of the best investigators he’s ever even known. Now, he’s found the missing child, but it’s thrown him right into the middle of something that may be a drug war–or could be a chance to stop the next 911! There’s no way out for Sam, so he’s in for the ride of his life, but when the girl he’s becoming fond of is suddenly drawn into the line of fire with her own little daughter, Sam is ready to forget all the rules and do whatever is necessary to win the day.

Kindles are on sale for all Prime members. It’s on slickdeals.
I’ve said for a long time that I would only buy a Voyage when the price was dropped to $150. It’s finally hit that mark, so I pulled the trigger.
Good to hear conformation. They make it impossible to see the deal unless you have Prime.
