"A novel that pulls no punches, the gripping story line grabs you from page one. It's "Chinatown" meets John Grisham." Best-selling, award-winning author Katie French.

When rookie Boston Globe reporter Matt Christenson makes a follow-up call to Boston Mayor Jack McCallin about a missing person's report, McCallin's twenty-three-year-old step-daughter Claire avoids Matt's every question.

Curious as to why Claire was cautious, Matt conducts extensive research finding that Theodore Johnson, listed as Claire McCallin's fiancé, is not just missing, he doesn't exist.

When Matt befriends Claire, and she entrusts Matt with her step-father's dark past, they set out to expose a pillar of the Boston community.

On the run, and knowing no one will believe the spoiled daughter of a wealthy mayor, Claire becomes desperate to find someone...anyone... willing to corroborate the truth.

Leaving a trail of murders behind Matt and Claire, time is running out as McCallin's hired hit-men close in to silence his step-daughter and the rookie reporter forever.
