A Silver Medallion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798215766293)

New York Times Bestselling Author Bobbi Smith said, "... a gripping, action-packed adventure from talented author James Callan. Crystal Moore is a tough and savvy heroine ..."

Young, bright, unadventurous Crystal Moore comes face-to-face with slavery in today's Dallas, Texas, in 2015. A woman is held, not by chains, but by threats to her two small children left behind in Mexico. Should she escape, or even tell anybody of her situation, her children will be killed.

Crystal would like to walk away and forget she ever heard this. But her conscience won't let her. Her parents were killed when she was just seven. She knows the heartache these children suffer. She can't sleep without hearing the cries of the two young girls and their mother.

Crystal knows the woman will never try to escape as long as her children are held hostage. Crystal realizes the only way to free her is to go to Mexico and rescue the girls first, for only if they are safe will the mother ever be free.

Crystal goes to Mexico and secures the help of the mysterious Juan Grande. After several abortive attempts, they rescue the children and spirit them to safety. Crystal returns to Dallas and now is able to help the mother escape. Soon, the mother and children are reunited.

But now, two powerful and ruthless men want Crystal dead. It will be up to Crystal and her seventy-six year-old, feisty grandmother to deal with the killers.

In the midst of all this, the man who nearly destroyed her emotionally is coming back. Crystal will need help from her street-wise housemate, and a new confidence, to face this man.
