Aaron Lacey is on the run.

He’s already killed two of his colleagues in self-defence. Now his employer, a protection service for the ex-military and police, will stop at nothing to take him out. But what has he done?

Lacey’s disappearance has his daughter worried sick, so she calls up an old family friend, Tess Grey. Tess would be happy to help, but when she talks to her mother she gets a shock. Why doesn’t her mother want Tess getting involved? Is there something she knows about Lacey that she’d hoped would stay buried . . . ?

Aaron Lacey is wounded.

He always dreamed he’d die peacefully in his bed, surrounded by loved ones. But now he’s hiding in the weeds on the Boston side of the Neponset River, waiting for death.

Then he hears a noise in the bushes.

They’ve found him.
