Without a Trace

A pulse-pounding crime thriller that proves you don't need a badge to fight evil—just the guts to face it. A missing girl. A team of unlikely misfits. One terrifying descent into darkness. When a teen girl vanishes without a trace, everyone assumes she ran from her strict father. But Justin Boyle knows something sinister is afoot. He saw her at the mall. He saw the twisted intentions of the strangers with her. And he knows she's in danger. The police dismiss his warning. So Justin turns to the only allies he has: Edwin Arroyo, a disgraced UFC fighter living in a homeless camp with his loyal dog, Grace Turner, a true crime fanatic stuck working the food court, and Rakesh Abbasi, a quiet tech whiz running his family's crumbling electronics store. Together, they form an unlikely team of amateur sleuths, diving headfirst into a twisted mystery that exposes depravity, danger, and the limits of their own courage. Time is running out. If they fail, a young life will be lost—and the evil will spread. From bestselling author Phil M. Williams comes a heart-pounding crime thriller perfect for fans of gritty thrillers, razor-sharp twists, and flawed heroes who refuse to quit.
