When Mark Rippet gets off the plane at LAX, he's excited about returning home to Los Angeles. But positive feelings are shoved aside when he discovers somebody is trying to kill him. The threat may stem from his murky past, for he has no enemies in L.A. At least none of which he's aware.
When Mark meets Eva Starling, an economist of note, she has hard questions about the bankruptcy of Mark's father. He doesn't have all the answers she needs. But her questions lead him to consider he may be marked for death because of something he already knows or may discover.
Both Mark and Eva quickly find themselves struggling to survive. And their chances are slim, for they are pitted against a shadowy group of conspirators with sinister objectives. And nobody will be allowed to deter them.
