But Byrth isn't making a social call. He's found a connection between the Mexican drug cartels and the Russian mob. Russian girls are being smuggled through the Caribbean to work in the U.S. as prostitutes, and some of them are dying or just disappearing. The trail leads right to Philadelphia, where teenage girls are being lured from foster homes, police sources are turning up dead, and the lone living witness--the daughter of a prominent family--has gone into hiding. It's up to Matt Payne and his Texas Ranger partner to find her--and hope like hell they get to her first....
