Blood Kin

Po races to rescue an old flame and her child, who looks exactly like he did at that age, from an abusive husband in this eighth Grey & Villere thriller.

'Po' Villere bumps into Elspeth Fuchs, an old flame, fleeing her abusive husband and takes her and her son, Jacob, in. But Jacob looks exactly like Po did when he was a child. Is Jacob really Po's son? Before they can find out Elspeth and Jacob are abducted and Po and his partner, Private Investigator Tess Grey, set out to rescue them.

A fast-paced and action-packed ride through upstate New York for fans of CHRIS RYAN and STEPHEN LEATHER.

When Nicolas 'Po' Villere runs into Elspeth Fuchs, an old flame, he's surprised to find who's by her side. It's her son, Jacob, and he's a dead ringer for when Po was a child. His age lines up with when Po last saw Elspeth, before she left him for Caleb Moorcock and a life in a secluded community.

Elspeth and Jacob are now running for their lives from the abusive Caleb. Po and his partner, Private Investigator Tess Grey, offer shelter. But before Po can dive into the boy's parentage, Caleb snatches the absconded pair and drags them back to their fortified commune.

Has Po dodged a bullet? Maybe it's best for them all if he never learns whether he's Jacob's father. Who's he kidding? Po resolves to rescue Elspeth and discover the truth about Jacob no matter what . . .
