Description
Displaced by force. Haunted by their past. Fear for the future.
Tori Deane gets no answers from the Canadian consulate when her diplomat lover Lucas Dominguez goes missing. Chicago police won?t help her. The UnMatchables private investigators Eddie Emerson and Kelly Gillespie are Tori's last hope.
Eddie and Kelly uncover evidence that Lucas has returned to the country of his childhood that was ripped apart by the Dirty War. An undeliverable money order sent to Buenos Aires from a bodega in a neighbourhood Kelly dreads may be the lead they need to heat up a cold case.
The danger revealed points to the sordid underworld of human trafficking ruled by a ruthless crime boss who hides his past behind an alias. Argentine refugee Rayen Vasquez is desperately seeking a way out and away from Octavio Hernandez, aka Otto Hermann, that only Lucas can give her.
Time isn?t on The UnMatchables side. Canada has deployed an elite law enforcement team with orders to recover their diplomat. Chicago PD has spread a wide net to snare smugglers and cripple the illegal transport of guns, drugs and people.
Hermann is on the run. His reason for keeping Rayen alive is about to expire.
