Rule #1: Don't Scream
Four years ago, Theresa Herrera's ten-year-old son Rico was

Theresa's husband has told her to move on, but she won't give up hope.
Rule #2: Don't call the police
Today a mysterious woman invaded Theresa's home and told her that
Rico is alive. Theresa talks on the phone to a young man who is,
without question, her son.
Rule #3: Don't run. Don't fight
The woman promises to reunite Theresa with Rico only if she will
follow the rules. But it is the last rule that fills Theresa with
horror . . .
Rule #4: Kill your husband and your son will live. . .
Malcolm Fletcher - a former FBI profiler and now the nation's Most
Wanted fugitive - arrives in Colorado to help Theresa and her husband
find their son. But his arrival coincides with a dangerous and
shocking twist in the case.

embarks on his own secret investigation, with the police just behind
him every step of the way.
