Keeping Watch  -  Laurie R. King

      "K" author

Allen Carmichael rescues children and mothers from abusive fathers and husbands.  He relies on skills he learn as a soldier in Vietnam to do this.   We learn of his time in Vietnam at the beginning of this story and that gave me a better feeling of what our service men went through during that time.

Allen turns to the rescuing of children to help quiet the beast that began to grow inside of him during the time in Vietnam. For 26 years he lives on the outskirts of the law and saves many lives.  Now he wants to retire,  but has been asked to help one more child,  Jamie.   Jamie believes his father is going to kill him so of course, Allen must help him.

Jamie's father's plane crashes but no body is found.  Then somehow, someone, discovers where Jamie is and is hunting him down.  Allen must save Jamie again, or are they really after Allen.??

As always, Laurie King's writing puts you right into the thick of things and makes for a very riveting read.
