Numerous failed attempts to become pregnant have left Tom
and Anna Reed with mounting debt. When their reclusive
downstairs tenant dies unexpectedly, they are shocked to
find he's hidden close to $400,000 in various locations in
the apartment. Believing this secret windfall could be the
answer to their prayers, they can't resist the temptation
and start hatching plans on how to keep it.
But their deceased tenant, and his money, turn out to be a
quite different situation from what they originally
thought. The Reeds soon find themselves dealing with some
very nasty criminals -- a killer who's after the money they
have, a drug dealer looking for something they don't have,
and an increasingly suspicious cop who's sure Tom and Anna
know more about the situation than they are telling. Even
with their lives on the line, it's hard for Tom and Anna to
give up the money and let go of their dreams. As the stakes
escalate to killing proportions, the race is on to a
cataclysmic finale that will take your breath away.
By now, you should be able to tell that this is one
thriller you do not want to miss reading. From the first
page to the last, it grabs you by the throat and never lets
up. With each new book (this is his third), the highly
talented Marcus Sakey gets better and better. I
can't wait to see where he will take readers next.
A family, and the security to enjoy it: that’s all Tom and
Anna Reed ever wanted. But years of infertility
treatments, including four failed attempts at in-vitro
fertilization, have left them with neither. The emotional
and financial costs are straining their marriage and
endangering their dreams. So when their downstairs tenant—
a recluse whose promptly delivered cashier’s checks were
barely keeping them afloat—dies in his sleep, the $400,000
they find stashed in his kitchen seems like fate. More
than fate: a chance for everything they’ve dreamed of for
so long. A fairy-tale ending.
But Tom and Anna soon realize that fairy tales never come
cheap. Because their tenant wasn’t a hermit who squirreled
away his pennies. He was a criminal who double-crossed
some of the most dangerous men in Chicago. Men who won’t
stop until they get revenge, no matter where they find it.
