But then a ransom note arrives, giving him one chance to save her. Forbidden to talk to the police or the FBI, Marc is helpless as the authorities hone in on a new suspect: him. And he doesn't know who to trust as deadly secrets—about his wife, about an old love he's never forgotten, and about his own past—surface.
