Phoebe MacNamara’s career as Savannah’s top hostage negotiator is defined by her calm resolve and sharp instincts—skills she learned after surviving a home invasion that left her family traumatized. In the city’s gritty streets, Phoebe defuses life‑threatening ransom requests with a blend of compassion and tactical force. At home, she must also care for an agoraphobic mother and a precocious seven‑year‑old while confronting the lingering scars of her past. When a chilling attack at her precinct shakes her to the core, Phoebe faces a new foe who threatens to turn her into a living hostage. With the support of upright business owner Duncan Swift—who admires her resilience—Phoebe must confront this faceless tormentor before it consumes her freedom and life.
