Summary: Zach/Jack/Mack is back! Keeping his current name straight is difficult at times, though! Mack (in this book) is on his third name change because he and his family are in the witness protection program. His father got involved with a drug smuggling operation, got caught, confessed what he knew, so now those people are after the family. They want one important item: a diary Mack’s dad kept while helping run the drug operation. Because of this, Mack and his sister are high targets for being abducted....Alonzo (drug lord) is in jail, but is still able to run his operation from the inside. Once his men have the kids, he is the one calling the shots. Will Mack and his sister make it out of this situation alive, or will Neil & Patricia (Mack’s parents) do something just in time?
