Jill Shannon has been married to Detective Alex Shannon for 5 years. They are both dedicated to their careers and are spending less and less time together. Jill is very ambitious and has a successful career in a male dominated area of data and software. Alex is happy with his current job and doesn't like being pushed by Jill to move up the career ladder.
One morning Alex receives a phone call from Abby, his old girlfriend, to say that her younger sister Natalie is missing. Alex helps out in the case and becomes obsessed with finding the person he believes abducted Natalie. This puts him in regular contact with Abby and causes a further rift with Jill.
After a successful conference presentation, Jill meets reporter Peter Young who requests an interview with her for his magazine. Jill goes to his hotel suite to conduct the interview. When she was younger Jill was abused by her step-father and is determined that she will never again be a victim. She becomes determined to make Peter pay for treating her and other women badly. Using knowledge gained from Alex she covers her tracks as she takes her revenge.
The two stories run along side by side with Alex and Jill occasionally managing to spend some time together. After Jill sets out on her course of revenge, Alex's investigations begin to reveal some information he would rather not have found.
This is the first of two books written by Chris Patchell and is a good thriller story.
