A kidnapped child in Manhattan Energy analyst Mark Wallace had it all – a top job in Wall Street, a loving wife and two beautiful children. But when his twelve-year-old son was snatched off the street, the family was ripped apart by grief. A terrorist attack in Russia Seven years later, Mark is still rebuilding his marriage and career when an explosion on a Russian pipeline shocks the oil industry. On the very same day, Mark receives a startling new lead in the case of his missing son. Is the timing a coincidence? Or could the kidnappers be linked to the pipeline? A conspiracy on a global scale As the oil crisis on wall street spirals out of control, Mark frantically delves deeper in his search for answers. Aided by his computer-hacker daughter and still-grieving wife, he must unearth the connection between a looming energy war and his family’s tragedy – before it’s too late.
