A WORLD IN TURMOIL

In the wake of al-Qaeda's catastrophic attacks, western democracies scramble to meet a deadly new threat...

A LIFE IN TURMOIL

For legal secretary Grace Palliser, the war on terror is just background noise. Twenty-four years ago, her father shot her mother and then killed himself. Today, Grace's life is a torment of nightmares, drug addiction, and custody fights over her daughter.

Being framed for murder is just about the last thing Grace Palliser needs...

But her accidental discovery of a vast international fraud triggers a cascade of terrifying events. Within days, Grace is running for her life, hunted by both the Canadian police and the American FBI. She flees across the continent in a desperate search for the evidence that will clear her.

Hot on her trail is a corrupt former cop with a simple assignment...

... to kill Grace Palliser.
