A LOST BABY
Luna Rosati found acceptance and comfort with her childhood foster family, but when she became pregnant at sixteen, she gave the baby up for adoption and left without a word. Now a CIA counterintelligence officer, Luna wants to reconcile her fractured sense of self by finding the only blood family she has--the teenage daughter she's never met. As Luna closes in on learning the girl's identity with the help of her mentor, Stryker, she prepares to meet him in her old neighborhood--the last place she wants to be. Then Stryker is captured.
AN INESCAPABLE PAST
Special Agent Corbin King changed his last name to escape the shadow of his convicted father serving a life sentence. When he runs into Luna, the object of his failed teenage romance, the two must put their pasts aside and work together to expose a secret that someone's willing to kill for.
A DEADLY THREAT
But when they encounter a kidnapping, missing bodies, and murder, the secrets Corbin and Luna are keeping from one another are only the beginning of the threat they face with more than their own lives at stake.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Angelo (Hunting the Witness) kicks off the King Legacy series with a propulsive if crowded thriller about a former CIA agent grappling with her past. Luna Rosati has just returned to her hardscrabble hometown of Millie Beach, S.C., in search of the daughter she gave up as a troubled 18-year-old. She's hoping to ask her former mentor, a detective named Stryker, for help, but before she can, he's abducted from a local diner in broad daylight. Luna reluctantly teams up with her ex, police officer Corbin King, to search for Stryker and the police commissioner's daughter, who disappeared six weeks earlier. Soon, Luna learns that a local girl from a rehabilitation program for troubled teens has also gone missing. Believing that this girl might be her long-lost daughter, Luna begins to suspect that all three disappearances are linked. As Luna and Corbin's investigation brings them to the center of an organ trafficking ring, they struggle to summon the faith it will take to get to the bottom of the case and decide whether they can start over again as a couple. While the many plot threads sometimes become tangled, Angelo's tenacious leads and zippy prose keep the pages turning. Fans of Lynette Eason and Melissa Koslin should take note.
