In this thriller by David Baldacci, Travis Devine, a former Army Ranger and government operative, is assigned to protect a young girl named Betsy Odom after her parents die under suspicious circumstances.
Betsy believes her parents were murdered, not victims of an overdose, and Devine begins to investigate her claims while escorting her to safety. As he digs deeper, he uncovers a network of corruption, secrets, and powerful people willing to kill to stay hidden.
At the same time, Devine is still being hunted by a dangerous enemy from his past, forcing him to balance survival with his mission.
