Beschreibung des Verlags
Tia Suarez jumped off the pages in Griffin's brilliant debut novel, Benefit of the Doubt. Now she takes center stage in her own story, A Voice from the Field, a gripping thriller about human trafficking in the U.S.
Gunther Kane and his white supremacist group are using forced prostitution to finance the purchase of automatic weapons. Kane snatches young women off the streets and sells them to hundreds of men. When a victim is used up, she's killed and dumped. After all, there are always more where she came from.
Physically recovered from being shot but struggling with PTSD, Tia Suarez almost doesn't believe her eyes when she glimpses a Hispanic teenager bound and gagged in the back of Kane's van. The look of terror on the woman's face makes Tia desperate to rescue her.
Kane's in the crosshairs of the FBI, who don't want a small-town Wisconsin detective messing up their big gun bust.
Tia Suarez doesn't back down for anyone. Not the department shrink; not the feds who dismiss her; not even her boyfriend, a Marine veteran who thinks she doesn't know what she's getting into. Tia will find the missing teen come hell or high water.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this familiar tale of a cop in search of redemption taking on human traffickers, Det. Tia Suarez, whom Griffin introduced in 2015's Benefit of the Doubt, persuades her boss to permit her to go back on the street, even though she has suffered from PTSD ever since being shot. Assigned to an undercover detail in Milwaukee, Wis., as part of a regional vice operation, Tia poses as a prostitute. Her first night, she's almost abducted by two bad guys. One of them, Gunther Kane, is caught, but the other man, who had a young girl captive in the back of a van, escapes. Tia is outraged that her account is questioned in court, and that Kane is let go with a slap on the wrist, despite having assaulted an officer. Though she has a history of hallucinations, Tia is positive about what she saw, and she will stop at nothing to find the kidnap victim. Griffin, a 25-year veteran of law enforcement, provides a sympathetic portrait of a decent cop trying to do her duty.
