THE LAST GIRL THEY TOOK A master horologist. A kidnapped daughter. A machine built on human suffering. When sixteen-year-old Maya Cole vanishes from a rainy street corner, her father David—a master clockmaker who believes every broken thing can be fixed—discovers a horrifying truth: his daughter was taken by a syndicate that views human beings as inventory. With the help of Silas Vance, a former special operations soldier, David descends into the city's subterranean underworld. To save his daughter, David must break the one rule he's lived by his entire life: he must break the machine.
