When a vacationing young schoolteacher stumbles upon the killing of a woman--and attempted kidnapping of the murdered woman's son--she rescues the 7-year old, only to find herself pursued by thugs hired by international agencies. She is aided by Ross, her close friend who has received multiple skin grafts following burns sustained 2 years earlier. But Ross is plagued with memories not his own, and it seems that dead men can tell tales... Fast paced suspense, from the author of the New York Times bestseller THE RANSOM OF BLACK STEALTH ONE.
