No Turning Back

Jack Beckett was having lunch with Mary Garret in San Francisco. When Mary's phone rang, she took the call. A minute later, she put the phone down, and Beckett could see the news was bad. "My daughter has been kidnapped," she said as tears welled up. Mary begged for his help. An hour later, they were leaving in Beckett's car with instructions to drive east on I-80. For two days, Beckett drove east with a man named Pippen trailing behind. The kidnappers called periodically with instructions. The two-car caravan stayed on the interstate. Eventually, Beckett learned that Mary was a scientist working on a secret project to modify DNA in unborn children. It wasn't difficult to figure out what the kidnappers wanted. What Mary knew was worth billions. The mysterious car journey finally ended in a remote area of Ohio. Pippen gave them instructions and then disappeared. Mary's daughter was inside a compound, straight ahead. There was no turning back. As they watched Pippen drive away, they drove the last quarter mile into the unknown. Inside the walled compound, evil twins and their mercenaries were waiting. In the hours that followed, the compound erupted in fire. Beckett had just enough time to get to an airport an hour away. If he made it in time, he needed to find a way to stop a charter jet from taking off. Everything hung in the balanceincluding the lives of Mary and her little girl.
