Sentenced to death for crimes he didn’t commit, ex-cop Tom
O’Brien is now a fugitive on the run. After fifteen years
behind bars, he’s determined to prove his innocence—but
first he must convince his daughter, whose testimony
helped put him in prison, that he has damning evidence of
a plot to frame him.
Claire is no longer the naďve young teenager who walked in
to find her mother and her mother’s lover dead and her
father holding the gun. She’s a successful fraud
investigator who figures that everyone lies. Though Claire
believes in her father’s guilt, her curiosity propels her
to look into the disappearance of a law student who
claimed he had proof of Tom’s innocence. But the answers
Claire finds only lead to more questions and reinforce her
belief that there’s no one left to trust.
Obsessed with the O’Brien case, FBI agent Mitch Bianchi
befriends Claire under false pretenses, convinced that Tom
is not only innocent but in grave danger—and not just from
the cops. As the three race toward the truth, a murderous
conspiracy tightens its noose—and Claire becomes the
target of an ice-cold psychopath who will kill to protect
his secrets.
Allison and Jennifer, thanks for such an interesting interview! I am already a fan of Allison's books, but if not, I would have picked one after reading the interview. (Julia Blanco 3:34pm October 23, 2008)
