When Tom Clayton arrives at a coroner's office in Jacksonville, Florida, to identify the body of his uncle, Andrew Walker, he's told the cause of death was a heart attack. But Tom isn't convinced. Andrew had been warned by dangerous Russian operatives to abandon his relentless search for his kidnapped wife, Sasha Ivanov. Now, Andrew is dead, and Tom suspects foul play. Andrew's last will and testament leaves Tom a clear directive: continue the search. With the help of a list of trusted allies provided by Andrew's lawyer, Tom sets out to uncover the truth. But a shocking revelation, a secret videotape, proves that Andrew's murder was a contract hit orchestrated by someone within the family. Betrayed and thrust into a world of deception, Tom must navigate a dangerous path where every ally could be an enemy. As he follows the trail from Palm Beach to Berlin, Tom plunges deeper into the murky underworld of human trafficking, extortion, and corruption. Every step brings him closer to Sasha and closer to those who will kill to keep their secrets buried. With danger at every turn, Tom must stay one step ahead of those hunting him and honor his uncle's dying wish. But can he survive long enough to find Sasha before it's too late? Join Tom Clayton on his perilous journey for truth, justice, and redemption.
