Flight Risk

How far would you go to protect the person you love most?

The most dangerous predators don't lurk in the shadows. They find your children at home. In their bedrooms. On their screens.

Emergency doctor Jac Wickman knows how to hold it together when everything falls apart. Until she finds her ex-husband's body, and her teenage son's necklace lying in his father's blood.

In a split-second decision, she pockets it.

When police swarm the scene, that single act makes Jac the prime suspect.

Then Liam vanishes.

Fleeing a detective hell-bent on closing the case, Jac burrows into her son's secret online life. What she uncovers is more terrifying than anything she's faced in the emergency room. A chilling conspiracy. Innocent victims. And Liam at the centre of it all.

Is her son a monster, or simply a pawn?

With lives on the line and law enforcement closing in, Jac is determined to save Liam. The chase could cost her everything. Her career. Her freedom. Her life. But nothing can force her to abandon her son.

Because in Jac's world, you fight until the final heartbeat.
