This three-book series focuses on civilian rescue operations rather than military missions, giving Dana Marton a different angle on her usual suspense formula. Each book follows a specialist who retrieves kidnapped civilians from dangerous international situations. The rescues take place in volatile locations where nothing goes according to plan.
Forced Disappearance (2014) launched the series, with Flash Fire and Girl in the Water following in 2015 and 2016. The civilian angle adds a layer of vulnerability that Marton’s military heroes do not usually have, raising the tension when things go wrong. These are fast reads with high body counts and the romance woven through the action.
