"Grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go." -The Globe and Mail

"Anger, fear and staggering grief is so strong and passionately written that it drives the reader into turning the pages . . . . The writing is explosive. . . . the conclusion is a riveting gunshot. A hard-to-put-down winner."
-The Hamilton Spectator

"Enjoyed the chase 'em, catch 'em, beat 'em, lose 'em story line. . . . would make a great thriller-style movie." -St. Albert Gazette

Nearly two million Canadians have fallen victim to identity theft, could you be next?

In Ron Chudley's latest mystery, Greg Lothian's orderly life is torn apart when his mother and famous artist father are scammed of their life savings by cruel con men. When the same criminals steal Greg's own identity, the normally law-abiding accountant turns his analytical mind to plotting revenge. This uncharacteristic decision plunges him into the strange and horrifying underworld that lurks everywhere, even on peaceful Vancouver Island. As Greg prepares to find the perpetrators of the debilitating crime, he sets up a clever plan of entrapment that ends up going badly wrong.

Greg's descent into the whirlpool of evil puts at risk a helpless neighbour, a loyal young woman and his very life. The magnificent panorama of the Pacific coast, with its mountains, dense forest, fog-shrouded shores and swift, cold rivers, provides the moody setting for this tale of crime and punishment-and bravery.

Ron Chudley is an accomplished screenwriter and playwright, and the author of three other novels of mystery and suspense: Stolen (2007), Dark Resurrection (2006) and Old Bones (2005). He lives on Vancouver Island and knows intimately the landscape where he unfurls this story of a frightening violation that is becoming increasingly familiar to all of us.
