A spellbinding thriller pitting a U.S. federal marshal
against the mob's most resourceful killer -- in a race to
save the woman he loves.
Six years ago witness protection agent Roland Larson did
the unthinkable: he fell in love with Hope Stevens, a
protected witness whose testimony had put away prominent
members of the Romero crime family. They planned to "cut
and run" together, escaping from both the government and
the mob, but in the end only Hope ran -- taking with her
the daughter Larson never knew they had. Larson thought he
would never see them again -- but when the Romeros steal
the master witness protection list from the Justice
Department, Larson is put back on Hope's trail.
In a series of terrifying encounters, Larson matches wits
with a brutally ingenious henchman who has kidnapped Hope
and Larson's daughter in his ruthless quest to destroy
Hope. For Larson, the stakes couldn't be higher -- how can
he continue to protect Hope, save the daughter he has never
met, and prevent the mob from auctioning off the witness
protection list, putting the lives of thousands of innocent
people in jeopardy?
