A spellbinding novel of suspense from New York Times bestselling author James Grippando, in which Miamiās top prosecutor becomes a prime suspect in his wifeās disappearance, which may have a chilling connection to the woman he canāt forget.
Unbelievable was the word for her. Samantha Vine was unbelievably beautiful. It was unbelievable that sheād married me. Even more unbelievable that she was gone . . .
Samantha died too soon. Abe Beckhamās new wife has helped him through the loss, but some say it was a step back to marry Angelina, a love from Abeās past. Abe doesnāt want to hear it, and through the ups and downs, heās even managed to remain a star prosecutor at the Miami State Attorneyās Office.
Then everything goes wrong. A womanās body is discovered dumped in the Everglades, and Abe is called upon to monitor the investigation. The FBI is tracking a killer in South Florida they call āCutterā because his brutal methods harken back to Floridaās dark past, when machete-wielding men cut sugarcane by hand in the blazing sun.
But when the feds discover that Abe had a brief encounter with the victim after Samanthaās death, and when Angelina goes missing, the respected attorney finds himself under fire. Suspicion surrounds him. His closest friends, family, professional colleagues, and the media no longer trust his motives. Was Angelina right? Was their marriage not what theyād hoped for because he loved Samantha too much? Or was there another woman . . . and a husband with a dark side who simply wanted his new wife gone?
