From The Back Cover
Claire Hayden has no idea that her world is about to be shattered.
At the conclusion of her husband's fortieth birthday party, he
is found murdered. He has no enemies. He has committed no crimes.
He has no shady past. Or, at least that's what Claire thinks...
Claire's search for information leads her to the mysterious Ian
Marshall, a stranger who first appeared in her life on the night
of her husband's death; a stranger who appears to be involved.
Someone has been killing this way for decades. Someone who will
do anything to make certain no one finds out. The mystery brings
them from San Francisco, to New York, to London, and to a tangled
web of secrets, family intrigue, and a jealous heir whose murderous
impulses don't stop with the first killing. Is Claire unknowingly
connected to the killer? Does Ian Marshall know more than he can
say? And Ian proves himself to be a dangerous man: dangerous to
Claire's mind, heart, and emotions. As Claire and Ian team up
to track down the killer, they make a terrifying discovery: The
killer may be someone very close to Claire-and Claire may be next...
