Collateral Fear A Samantha Leary Psychological Thriller

On her way to the school bus, eight-year-old Emily vanishes. One moment she’s there, the next, she’s gone—snatched from sight by a predator operating within a system that preys on the vulnerable.

Samantha Leary, drawn into the investigation, comes face-to-face with the man suspected of Emily’s abduction. The encounter turns violent, leaving Samantha wounded and shaken—but determined to hold on to the fragile thread of hope that remains.

Detective Greg traces the trail through the shadowy corridors of a child trafficking network. Every lead brings him closer to understanding the operation, yet Emily remains missing. Arrests are made, raids conducted, but the girl—and the evil that took her—continue to elude capture.

In the wake of failure, the weight of loss presses down: the children who can’t be saved, the human cost of a network that thrives in the darkness, and the relentless fight against evil that refuses to stop. Emily’s disappearance is just the beginning.

Samantha and Greg must confront the chilling truth: some monsters are never fully caught, and some children are never returned.
