Rescue artist Jane Whitefield leads a deadly crime syndicate on a frantic chase with only one winner in this gripping thriller.

Jane Whitefield helps people disappear. Now the bad guys want to do the same to her.

Jane's clients come to her for new identities when they’re fleeing desperate situations. It’s how she meets Sara, a young woman in serious danger who needs to escape. Sara's violent boyfriend found out about her lover and murdered him in front of her. The killer was acquitted despite Sara's testimony, and now he’s trying to find her to silence her permanently.

Jane can easily outsmart him, but he has supporters: a Russian organised crime brotherhood. On learning Sara is travelling with a tall, dark-haired woman who ‘disappears’ people, the Russians become incredibly interested, for Jane's knowledge of past clients could be worth millions.

In a bloodthirsty chase ending up in Maine's Hundred Mile Wilderness, one thing is certain: only one group will survive this.
