# The Dispatcher

**The phone rings. It's your daughter. She's been dead for four months.**  
  
Ian Hunt is the police dispatcher for the small town of Bulls Mouth, East Texas. Just as his shift is ending, he gets a call from his fourteen-year-old daughter, Maggie.  
  
Maggie, who has just been declared dead, having been snatched from her bedroom seven years ago. Her call ends in a scream.  
  
The trail leads to a local couple, but this is just the start of his battle to get his daughter back. What follows is a bullet-strewn cross-country chase along Interstate 10, from Texas to California.  
  
**Soon to be adapted by Apple TV+, _The Dispatcher_ is a darkly propulsive, action-fueled crime thriller from Ryan David Jahn -** **the acclaimed author of _Acts of Violence_ and _Low Life_ - about the lengths a man will go to for his daughter. Perfect for fans of Lee Child and Taken.
