Recruited by the U.S. Marshals to create false histories for people in witness protection, like his father, writer Jack Givins uses this opportunity to find his dadâa man who has done terrible things and made deadly enemies who wouldnât think twice about using his own son against him. 100,000 first printing. - HARPERCOLL
In this twisty, fast-paced thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Find You First and Take Your Breath Away, a man desperately tries to track down his fatherâwho was taken into witness protection years agoâbefore his enemies can get to him.
Your dadâs not a good person. Your dad killed people, son.
These are some of the last words Jack Givinsâ father spoke to him before he was whisked away by witness protection, leaving Jack and his mother to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives as best they could.
Years later, Jack is a grown man with problems of his own. Heâs a talented but struggling author, barely scraping by on the royalties from his moderately successful first book. So when the U.S. Marshals approach him with a lucrative opportunity, heâs in no position to turn them down. Theyâre recruiting writers like Jack to create false histories for people in witness protectionâpeople like Jackâs father.
The coincidence is astonishing to Jack at first, but he soon realizes this may be a chance to find his dad. Only thereâs one problemâJackâs father hasnât made contact with his handlers recently, and they have no idea where he is. He could be in serious danger, and Jack may be the only one who can find him.
But how will he find a man heâs never truly known? A man who has done terrible things in his lifetime and made some deadly enemies in the processâenemies who wouldnât think twice about using his own son against him.
