About SAVING SOPHIE:

An Action-Packed, Unforgettable journey of murder and deception, testing the bonds of family and love

Jack Sommers was just an unassuming accountant from Chicago—until his wife passed away, his young daughter was kidnapped, and he became the main suspect in an $88 million embezzlement case. Suddenly Jack is on the run, hoping to avoid detection long enough to rescue his daughter, Sophie

Now Catherine Lockhart and her partner, Liam Taggart, must join forces once again, this time working with mysterious CIA operative to launch a secret mission that aims not only to recue Sophie but also thwart a major terrorist attack in Hebron. But will the ever-escalating violence of the Palestine-Israel region put their entire team at risk and end in catastrophe? Or can they overcome the odds and save countless lives—including their own?
