The Loyalty of Children: A child in jeopardy novel

To protect her family, Dee has to kill the bad dude, or die trying... Deirdre and her father rescue two children who are living rough. But are they what they seem? As she tries to find out why the boys ran from their foster home, the action escalates once again... Dee learns that the man she calls 'the pedo baron' has infiltrated her sister's home in the guise of a friend. This silent threat to her sister's family means she has to take action, but what?

A feisty character with a crusty sense of humor, this unintentional heroine brings an original voice to a character-led story, and finds an inner strength even she hadn't known about.

*It is possible to read this as a standalone novel, but there are brief references to previous action, so the author recommends that the series be read in order.

'The third book in the series does not disappoint. I love that the characters have evolved over the course of the 3 books. In the beginning, Deirdre is woefully unprepared to take on her new role protecting children who have fallen through the cracks. The pedophile rings see her as a threat and the Feds see her as a dangerous vigilante.'

'...reads like a psychological breakdown of life and all its depravities. Chris Lewando's fiction makes us face our imperfections, our humanity, our compassion, and what's important in life.'

"This series just keeps getting better!"

Deirdre is no Jessica Jones; she's a normal girl thrust into an abnormal situation, and relies on her wits to survive, not forgetting a little help from the biker, Greg. Only, where is he when he's needed? And if she can't rely on him, she need to update her own survival skills. And maybe get a gun. When her world is turned upside down, she finds herself pitted against people with no morals, and taking action means working outside of the law. Crossing this bridge means there's no going back.
