From the Back Cover
A MESMERISING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER OF GREED, LOVE, BETRAYAL AND DEATH
Sandy Kinsolving is on a flight from London to New York, unsure what awaits him at the other end. His father-in-law – also his boss – has suffered a massive stroke, and Sandy has no way of knowing if the old man's promises of a partnership in the family business have made it into his will.
At this vulnerable moment, he strikes up a conversation with the friendly stranger sitting next to him. After the in-flight movie, Hitchcock's 'Stranger on a Train', and a few too many drinks, the two men discover they have a mutual problem: difficult wives who control the purse strings. For fun, they decide to improve upon the film, and plot how they would rid their lives of complications.
By the time Sandy Kinsolving's plane has landed in New York his life has changed irrevocably, although he doesn't know it yet. Awaiting him are wealth, security and the freedom to pursue his life's ambitions. But lurking in the shadows are a brutal murder he cannot prevent, and a madman who stalks his every waking moment.
‘Stuart Woods is a slam-bang, no-nonsense storyteller who doesn't disappoint’
