WRAPAROUND introduces its main character ... J.B. Dannan, an ex Marine, a man that gives away his lucrative architectural business in favor of starting an investigative business — a business that finds people who have disappeared months, even years, before.
In this novel, the reader will learn how Dannan came to be an expert finder, what propelled him to give away his business, how he operates, and what he has to do to find a high-ranking politician's daughter. Dannan is tough, yet easy going, and willing to kill to protect his clients and friends.
This novel introduces Anthony Solo, a street smart kid and a tattooed ex gangbanger from L.A. Together they are approached by a US senator and asked to find a staff member's missing child. But little does Dannan know that he and Anthony will plummet into a world of drugs and human trafficking, assassination attempts, and a rancher hellbent on killing them.
When Dannan is nearly killed, a CIA friend sends a professional to watch over J.B.'s young associate. But innocent people continue to die as Anthony wades deeper through human garbage to find the child they're after.
Dannan has designed his new home and is in the process of having it built when a shocking discovery is unearthed on his land. All construction comes to an abrupt halt when J.B.'s dog digs up human bones. Now Dannan feels a moral obligation to investigate a decades old murder and find a missing child. More killings take place, deception becomes the rule, and a rogue CIA agent hunts J.B. and Anthony.
But a stranger interferes with Dannan's investigation, a stranger who is haunted by the deaths, a stranger who thought he had already paid for his drug spent youth, only to find that someone still wants him dead.
As the search for the child continues, Dannan and his young associate are tracked by professional killers. But regardless of the danger, Dannan will go to any lengths to find and punish the person responsible for murdering the two people found on his property.
When Dannan is nearly killed, a CIA friend sends a professional to watch over J.B.'s young associate. But innocent people continue to die as Anthony wades deeper through human garbage to find the child they're after.
All J.B. Dannan wanted was a hot meal, to be left alone so he could finish his dinner. But life doesn't always give us what we want. Dannan finds himself in a strange town, no money, no vehicle, but plenty of enemies—and those enemies want him dead. He finds himself being pulled into a mystery that has baffled not only the local authorities for eleven years, but even the FBI.
Dannan and his young associate are besieged with townspeople who want them dead, with people who have been killed for no apparent reason, and townspeople who will go to any lengths to hide what has torn the town apart. Where is the missing school bus? Where are the missing children?
It was an early morning call that destroyed Dannan's peaceful sleep. It was a call that would send him hundreds of miles away. It was a call that could end his life and that of two friends. If J.B. refused to follow instructions, if he didn't at least attempt to rescue them, they would surely die.
Little did Dannan know that a horrific set of events awaited him. He had no idea that many people were about to die. But he was left with little choice. If he didn't kill a friend, his career would be over. His life as he knew it would end. His investigative business would suffer irreparable damage and he would spend years in prison.
Would Dannan's cousin, a chief of police, be able to help him?
But just when J.B. Dannan thinks his situation can't get any worse, he is contacted by an anonymous caller and ordered to kill yet another person—a stranger—a woman he doesn't even know. His decision will change the rest of his life. Will he be able to find a solution to his unthinkable dilemma? Or will he be unable to stop the events that will ultimately disgrace and destroy him?
A last request from a dying friend sends J.B. Dannan on a hunt that nearly cost him his life. The request: find a child who disappeared fifty years before. But how will J.B. start his search? Was it even possible to find a missing child after fifty years and a very cold trail?
Dannan's starting point takes him to Pennsylvania and a high ranking senator. To the murder of another friend. And to an insane asylum who's history was so horrific, it could chill the spine. In their hunt for answers, Anthony Solo, Dannan's associate, an ex-gangbanger from L.A., must kill or be killed. But who is the killer? And why is there no record of this person in the criminal database. But more importantly, who are the people behind the atrocities? And what part does Dannan's fifty year old missing child case play in all the murders that have taken place? It becomes a mystery worthy of Dannan's investigative skills.
It's a good day for Anthony Solo. He has successfully completed his latest case and is now heading back to California for some well-deserved rest. But plans change, and for Anthony, those changes are violent and deadly. He finds himself suddenly responsible for the safety of two runaway children. Now he must come up with a plan that will save, not only them, but himself from certain death at the hands of two brutal killers hired by the kids' uncle.
But decades old mysteries have to be solved before the children can live a normal life.
Buried secrets, kidnapped friends, unsolved murders, vicious thugs, and powerful people all conspire to test the skills and expertise of Dannan Investigative Services.
