Henry Parker's life is looking up. He moved to New York City after landing his dream job as a reporter at the renowned New York Gazette, working alongside his idol Jack O'Donnell. Henry is smart. Ambitious. Determined. He's ready to take the world by storm. But this dream life is about to turn into a nightmare...

When his first story goes horribly wrong, and a man ends up dead, Henry finds himself accused of murder. On his trail is a dogged cop who wants to see Henry behind bars, and a ruthless, demented assassin who wants to see Henry dead. Henry's only hope of survival is a woman he barely knows, as they embark on a cross-country flight barely one step ahead of disaster. The only chance he has to clear his name is to find the truth about the bizarre murder, and to uncover a secret that some very dangerous people are willing to kill to conceal.
