But when, three years later, Keeper catches a glimpse of the ominous black Buick that broadsided their car, he knows what he must do: find that driver. Even as his life is hurtled off axis, a PI case comes his way. A beautiful woman - an author on an assignment gone wrong - has been locked up in a notorious Mexican prison.
