Convicted of insider trading, Jamison Maddox reluctantly accepts a
mysterious job that soon takes an ominous twist, sending him on the run
from powerful and deadly forces in the latest thriller from Barry Award
and Edgar Award finalist Mike Lawson.
With his reputation permanently marred by an insider trading conviction,
Jamison Maddox, a young Wall Street broker, reluctantly takes a job
doing research for a small company in the sleepy town of Redemption,
Illinois. He's never heard of the company, or of the town, but he's out
of money and options. Though Jamison notices right away that everyone in
Redemption is in some way related to one another, the big city boy
chalks it up to small town ways. And as for the company's seemingly
extreme security practices, Jamison was planning on minding his own
business anyway.
But when he falls in love with a beautiful and enigmatic colleague,
Gillian, Jamison begins to realize that he may be doing illegal work for
the company. So when she asks him to run away with her, he agrees
wholeheartedly. The two set off across the country, hoping to secure
some money and go into hiding. The company is soon on their tails,
pursuing them with the single-minded goal of silencing them forever.
If Jamison hadn't realized how dangerous these people really are, he now
realizes they will stop at nothing to protect the company. And he has no
idea that his lover, a stunning woman shrouded in mystery, is as
dangerous as the people he's running from.
