A brilliant new crime novel from the beloved,
bestselling, and award-winning master of the genre--and Joe
Pike's most perilous case to date.
Joe Pike didn't expect to rescue a woman that day. He went
to the bank same as anyone goes to the bank, and returned to
his Jeep. So when Isabel Roland, the lonely young teller who
helped him, steps out of the bank on her way to lunch, Joe
is on hand when two men abduct her. Joe chases them down,
and the two men are arrested. But instead of putting the
drama to bed, the arrests are only the beginning of the
trouble for Joe and Izzy.
After posting bail, the two abductors are murdered and Izzy
disappears. Pike calls on his friend, Elvis Cole, to help
learn the truth. What Elvis uncovers is a twisted family
story that involves corporate whistleblowing, huge amounts
of cash, the Witness Relocation Program, and a long line of
lies. But what of all that did Izzy know? Is she a
perpetrator or a victim? And how far will Joe go to find out?
