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 rest, 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?
