THE FIRST DIRECTIVE

About the Book

A rich man’s teenage daughter has disappeared, and for some reason, people in high places are getting nervous. Sergeant Fraleigh, a homicide cop, is put on the case and promptly violates the first directive of police work: he gets involved with a beautiful suspect. When big politics goes to bed with big money–– and with teenage girls––it’s tough to make the right choices. And the case of the rich man’s missing daughter is a sinkhole of corruption dragging down microchip millionaires with more money than they know what to do with and more power than they know how to handle.
