Myron Bolitar receives an unexpected call from Terese Collins after ten years of silence. She's calling from Paris, where police suspect her of murdering her ex-husband. Terese tells Myron about the tragedy that drove her away: her struggle to conceive, the joy of finally having a daughter, and the accident that killed the child and destroyed her marriage. Now she needs help clearing her name. Myron travels to Paris to assist her, but new evidence changes everything. The case reveals buried family secrets and suggests Terese's daughter might still be alive. Unknown enemies pursue them through France as multiple intelligence agencies join the hunt. Myron and Terese must outrun Homeland Security, Interpol, and Mossad while searching for the truth about her lost child and uncovering a conspiracy with international consequences.
