Product Description
by Simon Kernick (Author)
From the #1 internationally bestselling author, a race-against-time thriller about a man on the run from the police--who think he has murdered his missing wife--and the far more dangerous organization that probably did.
John Meron, a happily married father of two young children, has always lived an unassuming, unexceptional life. But one brief phone call changes everything. On an ordinary summer afternoon, John recognizes the voice of his old friend Jack Calley, a big-time City lawyer, screaming for his life. Meron listens helplessly to the sounds of Calley being viciously attacked and murdered. Most shocking of all are Calley's last words: the first two lines of Meron's home address. Confused and terrified, Meron piles his children in the car and drives away, trying desperately to reach his wife on her cell phone or at her office. There is no answer. With his wife missing, an unidentified corpse in her office, his home occupied by three armed men, and the police after him for crimes too horrible to contemplate, John Meron's quiet life is about to get a whole lot more interesting. But he might not stay alive long enough to notice.Author Biography
