The only solid link to the missing kids is a mysterious woman in a red dress. But that isn't enough to go on, and Alex has orders to focus on another case. As if that will stop him.
He stumbles upon something so chilling, it finally provides the proof that he was right all along-the kidnappings are part of an elaborate worldwide scheme. And he and his family have landed on the bad guys' radar.
