In this twisty thriller from the bestselling author, a man desperately tries to track down his father in witness protection before his enemies can get to him.Sunday Times
Your dadâs not a good person. Your dad killed people, son.
These are some of the last words Jack Givinsâs father spoke to him before he was whisked away by witness protection, leaving Jack and his mother to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives.
Years later, Jack is a struggling author, recruited by the U.S. Marshals to create false histories for people in witness protection. Jack realises this may be a chance to find his dad â but then he discovers heâs gone missing, and he could be in serious danger.
Jack knows he has to track him down. But how will he find a man heâs never truly known? And how will he evade his fatherâs deadly enemies â enemies who wouldnât think twice about using his own son against him?
