A gifted federal agent hunts a serial predator whose politically influential father stops at nothing to destroy his investigation and end his life.

As a Field Supervisor, Sam Caviello enjoys being in charge, but he still yearned to be in the field investigating crimes, not sitting behind a desk reviewing reports and dealing with deadlines.

While driving to Boston for a briefing, Caviello nearly collides with a black BMW that stops for a hitchhiker on a fog-filled night. He follows behind the car for only a few miles before it exits into a rural Connecticut community.

Days later, while at a state police meeting, Caviello is surprised to see the hitchhiker’s photo on a missing person’s flyer. Suspecting foul play, Agent Caviello is determined to unravel the circumstances of the hitchhiker’s disappearance and initiates a covert inquiry outside his jurisdiction.

His preliminary inquiry identifies the BMW driver as a man who works in the Governor’s office, and is the son of an unscrupulous influential businessman. As Caviello’s discreet probe gathers evidence exposing the son’s heinous crimes, it gets leaked to the father. With the help of his connections to the Governor and high-ranking legislators, the father stops at nothing to shut down the investigation, Caviello’s freedom—and possibly his life.

Caviello is not your typical investigator. He receives unexplained instinctive feelings that steer him to the evidence and suspects—and in A Cry for Help, he must depend on his gut instincts to save his life as he hunts a serial predator.
