A determined, (down on her luck,) mother caring for her
handicapped son becomes entangled in a murderous conspiracy
to keep a twenty year old secret buried in this blistering
thriller, set during the tragic aftermath of Hurricane
Sandy, from Andrew Gross, the New York Times bestselling
author of 15 Seconds and No Way Back.
While driving along a suburban back road, Hilary Blum, who's
just lost her job and whose deadbeat husband has left her
alone to care for her son with Asperger's, witnesses a
freakish accident. A car ahead of her careens down a hill
and slams into a tree. Stopping to help, she discovers the
driver dead—and a satchel stuffed with a half a million
dollars.
That money could prevent her family's ruin and keep her
special needs son in school. In an instant, this honest,
achieving woman who has always done the responsible thing
makes a decision that puts her in the center of maelstrom of
dark consequences and life-threatening recriminations—a
terrifying scheme involving a twenty-year-old murder, an old
woman who's life has been washed out to sea, and a powerful
figure bent to keep the secret that can destroy him hidden.
With everything to lose, everything she loves, Hilary
connects to a determined cop from Staten Island, reeling
from the disaster of Sandy, to bring down an enemy who will
stop at nothing to keep what that money was meant to
silence, still buried.
