Ex-FBI agent Cody O'Brien lives a quiet life in Northern California. Self-sufficient and content, she provides a good home for herself and her eight-year-old son, Ryan. But all of that is shattered when Ryan is kidnapped is broad daylight . . . Cody's greatest fear is knowing the true motive behind the abduction. For her entire life is a lie--one so easily exposed, and so very dangerous. A woman of hard-earned courage, she escaped the killers responsible for her husband's murder--and learned to start over. Failed by the Witness Protection Program, she trusts only herself to save her son. Now she's on the run again--and heading blindly toward a past that wants only one thing from her: cold-blooded revenge.
