Twenty-Seven Calls

Escaping one of Philadelphia’s most blighted neighborhoods through U.S. Army military police training, Elizabeth Owens rises to become a detective in her hometown’s police department.

But her career is quietly sabotaged by James McMillan, a wealthy real estate mogul she once arrested for assault. Now stuck in the Domestic Violence Unit—one of the department’s least desirable assignments—Owens fights to protect victims in a system that often fails them.

After a haunting triple murder, Owens and her partner vow to step in when victims make twenty-seven unanswered calls for help, starting with a serial abuser linked to a missing woman.

As Owens digs deeper, she uncovers McMillan’s ongoing campaign against her and evidence tying him to the disappearances of multiple women. With the help of her partner, a crusading lawyer, and McMillan’s abused mistress seeking revenge, Owens devises a bold plan to take down the untouchable billionaire once and for all.
