Panel 1

Canyon Crime Ring Takedown

Coming March 30, 2027

A dangerous conspiracy
lies hidden in the desert.

Special Agent Reese Henlow is undercover investigating a park ranger’s murder when she’s ambushed and becomes the next target of a human trafficking ring. She’s rescued by Homeland Security Special Agent Colton Williams, who is also working undercover to bring down the operation. Posing as a couple allows them to work together without exposing their identities, but the charade soon becomes more complicated. When an attack leaves them stranded in the unforgiving desert, Reese and Colton must evade the smuggling ring and bring justice to its victims. Will they survive long enough to stop the criminals, or will they succumb to the elements and their ruthless enemies?
