The Redemption

She lost her badge. She won't lose another child. Cassandra Woodward was once Oakwood's first female detective-until one mistake cost her everything: her career, her partner's trust, and her self-respect. Now working as a lowly zoo security guard, she's drowning in regret... until the day a frantic father screams that his daughter has vanished in broad daylight. What looks like a panicked mistake quickly unravels into something far darker. A severed finger. A ransom demand. And a web of lies that leads straight to a decorated detective, a Russian mobster, and a conspiracy so deep it threatens to destroy two innocent families. With no badge, no backup, and a target on her back, Cass must rely on her instincts-and her haunted past-to uncover the truth before time runs out. But in a town where loyalty is currency and betrayal is fatal, trusting the wrong person could get a child killed... or end her life for good. From award-winning author Gregory Wilson Taylor comes a pulse-pounding thriller that blends taut police procedural with raw emotional stakes. Perfect for fans of Tana French, Michael Connelly, and Lisa Gardner. If you love complex female leads, twisty investigations, and morally gray battles between justice and revenge-you won't be able to put this down.
