Trail of The Talon (Task Force)

Task Force Agent Calvin 'Seeker' Geffers and FBI Special Agent Stephanie Anderson were vacationing at a beach hotel in Charleston when they received the call. Seeker and Stephanie must find and rescue a girl kidnapped from her home. On the hunt, they faced off with Talon, the most wanted elusive international criminal and extortionist. No one saw him and lived, but there'd always be an exception to this rule. Talon was always a step ahead, and the duo raced against time to stop him. From America to Argentina and the places in between, they tailed Talon to stop the next crime. And while at it, romance, discoveries, and drama took center stage in Trail of the Talon by Jack Gannon and Cyndi Williams-Barnier. Who would go down first? The couple or Talon?
