Welcome to a cat and mouse game that only bestselling
novelist T. Jefferson Parker could script. A beautiful
young woman is dead in the bathroom of her home. Her
husband — a promising young cop named Archie Wildcraft —
is shot in the head but still alive. It looks like an
attempted murder/suicide, but something tells Detective
Merci Rayborn that there's more to the story. When the
suspect vanishes from his hospital bed, he draws Merci
into a manhunt that leaves the entire department
questioning her abilities and her judgment. Is Archie's
flight the act of a ruined mind, or a faithful heart? Is
his account of the night his wife was murdered half-formed
memory, or careful manipulation? Merci and Wildcraft head
for a collision in a dizzying succession of cryptic clues,
terrifying secrets, and painful truths. This sharp new
thriller will satisfy Parker fans across the country — and
leave first-time readers clamoring for more.
