| The spectacular Dutton debut of a thriller writer whose ecstatically acclaimed work draws comparisons to luminaries such as Elmore Leonard, George Pelecanos, and Dennis Lehane
A family, and the security to enjoy it: that�s all Tom and Anna Reed ever wanted. But years of infertility treatments, including four failed attempts at in-vitro fertilization, have left them with neither. The emotional and financial costs are straining their marriage and endangering their dreams. So when their downstairs tenant�a recluse whose promptly delivered cashier�s checks were barely keeping them afloat�dies in his sleep, the $400,000 they find stashed in his kitchen seems like fate. More than fate: a chance for everything they�ve dreamed of for so long. A fairy-tale ending.
But Tom and Anna soon realize that fairy tales never come cheap. Because their tenant wasn�t a hermit who squirreled away his pennies. He was a criminal who double-crossed some of the most dangerous men in Chicago. Men who won�t stop until they get revenge, no matter where they find it.
