When Carl Greene is shot to death, Lucy Greene finds herself catapulted into a rollacoaster of events.

On the day of her husband's funeral she is contacted by an old school mate Kevin Burns, a journalist who says that Carl had requested an urgent meeting just the day before his death. Wanting just to be left alone, Lucy blanks him, but then she disturbs an intruder in Carlıs office, and then people from his company turn up to take away his papers, and gradually Lucy becomes aware that there are people out there who want something that Carl had, and now they think that she has it.

Forming an uneasy alliance with a female burglar Darcy, who has her own agenda, to protect her sister, the three set out to uncover the secrets for which Carl died. To escape a contract killer they travel from Denver through Wyoming and into Montana where they stay at a retreat run by some friends of Darcyıs. But it seems there is no place for them to hide, and their only chance is to unmask the truth behind the company for which Carl worked, the Bioflux Corporation.

This is a powerful book, which I could not put down. The pace grips you and holds on, even through there are periods of introspection, these provide a background to the characters that make them very believable.
