Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Two men join forces to investigate a woman’s mysterious disappearance in this “labyrinthine tale of murder [and] conspiracy” (People) from the award-winning author of The Butcher’s Boy.“Fast-paced . . . a totally enveloping read [that] relies on the wits of the characters rather than the high-tech gadgetry.”—The Denver PostA careful, methodical young data analyst for a California insurance company, John Walker knows when people will marry, at what age they will most likely have children, and when they will die. All signs point to a long successful career—until Max Stillman, a gruff security consultant, appears without warning at the office. It seems a colleague with whom Walker once had an affair has disappeared after paying a very large death benefit to an impostor. Stillman wants to find and convict her; Walker is convinced the woman is innocent. Now Walker teams up with Stillman on an urgent north-by-northeast race—relentlessly leading to a pay-off that just might shock the life out of him. . . .
