Summary

A careful, methodical young data analyst for a California insurance company, John Walker knows when people will marry, at what age they will most likely have children, and when they will die. All signs point to a long successful career—until Max Stillman, a gruff security consultant, appears without warning at the office. It seems a colleague with whom Walker once had an affair has disappeared after paying a very large death benefit to an impostor. Stillman wants to find and convict her; Walker is convinced the woman is innocent. Now Walker teams up with Stillman on an urgent north-by-northeast race—relentlessly leading to a pay-off that just might shock the life out of him.

Editorial Reviews

“[An] intriguing and extremely well-written new thriller…This is a sharp, suspenseful, successful debut for a pair of unlikely compatriots, marked by Perry’s edgy, noirish style, lively dialogue, and superb pacing.” —Amazon.com, editorial review

“Edgar Award–winning Perry is the kind of writer who can make any subject enthralling…[He] never lets up on the suspense. Masterful.” —Booklist

Thomas Perry is, quite simply, brilliant. And as each book comes out he becomes more so. —Robert B. Parker
