He thought he could trust her. He was wrong.
Now his daughter is missing, kidnapped by a woman bent on revenge–and willing to kill to get what she wants.
“I enjoy mystery and suspense and Richard Ryker conjured up a book filled to the brim with both…”
Tonight Marcus stepped back into the world of dating for the first time since his wife died three years ago. Things are going well. Interesting conversation with an attractive woman, first-rate food and even better wine. Life is good again. What Marcus doesn’t know is that his nanny has just abducted his eleven-year-old daughter–to Russia.
Marcus’ nanny is his ex-sister-in-law, a survivor of war crimes in her homeland Chechnya. Kamila’s lingering trauma and desire for revenge drive her dark thoughts and treacherous acts. She’s willing to eliminate anyone who gets in her way–including her niece.
Marcus isn’t about to entrust Alyssa’s fate to a slow-moving legal system that has no authority beyond the borders of the United States. Standing between Marcus and Alyssa are corrupt Embassy staff, Chechen rebel fighters, and the Russian Army.
Marcus and his long-time friend and newfound romantic interest, Stormy, chase Kamila to Moscow, across the Russian countryside, and eventually into the heart of a territory controlled by Kamila’s father, a rebel leader who is the last man Marcus expects to offer help.
Will Marcus and Stormy find Alyssa before Kamila gives in to her darkest thoughts? What drives Kamila’s deep-seated hatred of Marcus? If you enjoy suspense-filled psychological thrillers that keep you guessing until the last page, you’ll love Dark Sky Falling.
