Amy Robbins suffers a tragedy no one should ever endure: the loss of her young daughter and husband in a deadly accident. Mired in a depressive fog, her successful career vanishes-followed by her life savings and the will to live. But while biding time in a dead-end job, she stumbles on something that upends everything-and lays bare a disturbing truth at the heart of a tragic lie.

With fixer Mickey Keller attempting to take from Amy the last hope she has for a return to a normal life, her sister-in-law-FBI Agent Loren Ryder-squares off against Keller in a heart-pounding climax that will leave you wondering who are the good guys and who are the bad. In the words of Rizzoli and Isles' creator Tess Gerritsen, "Jacobson expertly ratchets up the tension and shows us that the most courageous heroes are those with everything to lose."
