Eleven-year-old Tilly Martin is dragged from her suburban
bedroom. Her mother, Cora, pleads for mercy but the
kidnappers are clear: if they don't get their $5 million
back in five days, Tilly dies. If anyone contacts police,
Tilly dies.
Journalist Jack Gannon's estranged sister, Cora, disappeared
without a trace decades ago. Now she is frantically reaching
out to him for help. Cora tells him about the shameful
mistakes she's made—but she guards the one secret that may
be keeping her daughter alive.
A twenty-year-old assassin, haunted by the faces of the
people he's executed, seeks absolution as he sets out to
commit his last murders as a hired killer.
In the U.S. and Mexico, police and the press go flat out on
Tilly's case. But as Gannon digs deeper into his anguished
sister's past, the hours tick down on his niece's life and
he faces losing a fragment of his rediscovered family forever.
