Colby Core Book

A nice little bit of fluff, and the second half of a christmas two-parter. Riley Porter is a Colby Agency operative trying to infiltrate the child abduction ring uncovered in the previous volume. Tessa Wood is a young woman in the organization who had been abducted as a teenager, but 'The Master' decided to keep her for reasons never explained. In an attempt to save the children, including her own, Tessa decides to help Riley.

I found Tessa's character hard to believe, but it was a fun bit of fluff, and a nice conclusion to the story. There were a few hints at plot points that get dropped, and you never really get any idea of what motivated the villain to set up operations, or how his outfit actually worked, but when you're dealing with only 200 pages, it's kind of hard to flush everything out.
