When Victor Holland came flying out of the night, he ran straight into the path of Catherine Weaver's car. Having uncovered a terrifying secret that leads all the way to Washington, Victor is running for his life–and from the men who will go to any lengths to silence him.

Though Victor's story sounds like the ravings of a mad–man, the haunted look in his eyes–and the bullet hole in his shoulder–tell Cathy a different story. As each hour brings pursuers ever closer, she has to wonder, is she giving her trust to a man in danger or trusting her life to a dangerous man?
