Kate Tudor's marriage to billionaire Hank Tudor continues to fray when his ex-wife resurfaces in the wake of their daughter's kidnapping, in the latest novel in this genre-defying crime series.

Eight years ago, Nan Tudor escaped her husband, billionaire businessman Hank Tudor, afraid for her life and leaving a dead body behind--but in doing so, she abandoned her three-year-old daughter, Lizzie. Still wracked with guilt for that decision, she is living a quiet life as a restaurant cook in France with her son when she receives a mysterious text: "We have your daughter."

Lured back to the scene of the crime on Martha's Vineyard by a threat against Lizzie's life, Nan believes the kidnapper is exacting revenge against her, stopping at nothing to do so--and discovers that she and her daughter may not be the only targets. Kate Parker--Hank's sixth and latest wife--is also on the island and drawn into the kidnapper's elaborate web of retaliation.

Keeping their alliance secret from Hank, Hank's fixer Thomas Cromwell, investigator Steve Gardiner, and reporter Tom Seymour, the two women find themselves in a race against time to rescue Lizzie--and to make sure they both stay alive.
