Description

Ellen has murder on her mind: an untraceable act of retribution for a horror that shattered her family and her childhood. After years of quietly searching, the time for action has arrived. Leaving her unwitting husband, Pete, she vanishes without a trace, taking to the road in pursuit of a man called Walker—a killer who can lead her to the evil prey she seeks.

With the slimmest of clues, a confused and desperate Pete begins to trace Ellen's path. As he pieces together the truth behind his show more wife's disappearance, he realizes that his ignorance of Ellen's secrets has not only jeopardized their marriage, but may also cost the woman he loves her life. Certain of nothing but the need to find her, Pete crisscrosses the country in a harrowing race against the clock that ends in a brutal, fiery confrontation on a desert mountain top—a stunnning shocker that will leave you guessing until the very end.

Ellen Donnelly leaves her husband, Pete, perhaps after a domestic argument. She calls and tells him she's with her sister. When Pete returns the call, to apologize, Ellen's sister has no idea where Ellen is.

Ellen is looking for Franklin Walker, who had been paroled after serving thirth-years for the murder of Ellen's father.

In this plot-driven novel, we learn of Ellen's plan for revenge and Pete's actions in trying to locate his wife.

Things go wrong for Ellen and the story takes a dramatic turn as her life becomes endangered. During this time, Pete learns some of the details around her father's murder.

Drama mounts as we try to learn who was the man who pulled the trigger and what was the true reason for murdering Ellen's father.

Ellen's show more motivation becomes clearer when we learn that she was hiding in the room when her father was killed. As a five-year-old, she was hiding under a desk. The development of Franklin Walker is also a well done portion of the book. He goes from being a parolee to a man with compassion and the desire to do the right thing. show less
