On a day like any other, Kendra Hardie picks up the phone.
A voice says, ‘leave the house and you’re dead’.
Then the line is cut.
Kendra hasn’t seen her husband Charlie for nearly a decade. He hasn’t forgotten about her – but neither have his enemies. And he has a lot of enemies.
Charlie thought he could protect her by staying away. But now he has access to secrets his enemies will kill to keep hidden, and they’re planning to start with his family.
After years in exile, Charlie’s arming up… and heading home.

Duane Swierczynski is a much-needed breath of fresh air in the book world...This guy is a great storyteller. I never know what he is going to come up with or where he is going to take me. I just know I won't be complaining about a thing once I get there.
'Duane Swierczynski has ideas so brilliant and brutal that one day the rest of us will have to tool up and kill him.'
A high octane, cinematic delight that uses film techniques of fast pace and quick cuts and highly visual scenes to rivet the reader to their chair. I loved it
Cool, suspenseful, tragic, and funny as hell...I haven't had this much fun reading in a long time.
Duane Swierczynski puts the rest of the crime-writing world on notice. So learn to spell the last name. He's going to be around for a while.
Duane Swierczynski is one of the best thriller writers in America, and probably my favorite.
