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 naïve 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.
