The Edge Of Alone

They call it a school. It's really a graveyard. When a teenage girl is legally abducted and sent to a remote, cult-like facility in the American wasteland, Ryan Lock and Ty Johnson are hired to get eyes on her. Going undercover, they uncover a sickening regime of institutional abuse, backed by a dark history of covered-up student deaths.

But before Lock can pull the plug, the camp erupts. Traumatized kids have taken the guards hostage, Ty is trapped in the crossfire, and the desert is waiting to swallow the survivors. Ryan Lock didn't start this fire, but he's going to finish it. Praise for Sean Black's Ryan Lock series: "This series is ace.
