Dan DeCosta's life implodes after he falls for Robin O'Rourke, the fiery redhead stalked by her violent ex, and thrusts Dan into a terrifying ordeal with the law, financial ruin, and fighting for his life. Dan's father, Dick DeCosta, a renowned climate activist targeted by extremist groups, had relocated to Florida to escape their wrath. But Dick is forced to return to Boston, embarking on a frantic race against time to rescue his son and find Robin. Meanwhile, Dick's wife becomes ill, and his daughter flees wildfires. Long-held family secrets threaten to erupt, testing the limits of loyalty and love.
The Vulnerable explores themes of love, loss, and betrayal against a backdrop of escalating worldwide crisis. From the blizzards of Massachusetts and the burning California landscapes to the sun-drenched shores of Florida, a relentless pursuit of justice and survival unfolds.
Will these vulnerable souls find strength in each other and withstand the perils thrust upon them? The answers lie within the pages of this gripping, high-stakes, unforgettable thriller.
"With The Vulnerable, Ed DeJesus has executed a layered, complex, and highly entertaining debut thriller. Crime, domestic terror, family wounds, romance, the pandemic, climate change -- it's all here. Moving fluidly (at times breathtakingly) between Massachusetts, Florida, and California wildfires, the story crackles with energy, sharply drawn characters, and an unflinching vision of a world in which we are all vulnerable." -- David Daniel, prizewinning author of the Alex Rasmussen Lowell Detective Series and Beach Town.
Fans of Harlan Coben's hooks, James Patterson's thrillers, and Wally Lamb's family dramas will love The Vulnerable.
