Phil Cohen is a retired Black Ops hit man. His Grandson is kidnapped. At his daughter's request, he goes to Atlanta to help her, and her husband Maury, deal with the crisis. The kidnapper hires various criminal types to assist him, contacting them through email and sending them to drop points to pick up instructions and cash. The kidnapper insulates himself from detection by ensuring none of his hired help know or meet him or each other. Phil, nicknamed Gran De Daddy by his grandson, has the ability to transform his thoughts into the thoughts of the criminally insane. As the story progresses you find he is virtually insane himself. He deduces that the kidnapper will play a double cross, and instead of setting up a real time and place to make the transfer of Michael for the ransom money, he will arrive at their house with Michael. With a gun to Michael’s head, he will force the father to make a wire transfer of the ransom amount. Once the transfer is made, the kidnaper will kill Michael and the parents, making it seem like murder/suicide, and then set fire to the home to cover possible evidence and hinder any investigation. Phil thinks the perp has used this mode of operation many times, making him proficient in the execution of the crime.
Phil is frustrated, every avenue he pursues in his desperate search comes to a dead end. His desperation and anger reach a fever pitch after his daughter and son-in-law receive one of Michael’s fingers by way of FedEX. He comes to realize he is dealing with an intelligent psychopath. This is Phil's story of desperation, murder, and revenge wrapped around a blossoming romance between him and a young woman he rescues from an abusive boyfriend. He leaves a trail of death as he weeds through the chaff to get to the man who dared to harm his grandson. The action sequences are believable and the climatic ending is explosively violent.
