Review:

"In this stand-alone thriller . . . the well-constructed, suspenseful plot is layered with many 'What?!' and 'Oh my God' moments. With the reader well and truly hooked, all one can do is hang on until the final reveal." --"Romantic Times"

From the Back Cover:

In this gripping thriller by New York Times bestselling author James Grippando, a fallen baseball star must use his new skills as Boston's king of sports talk radio to outwit a dangerous caller and prove—live and on the air—that the hit-and-run that killed his wife was no accident.

The fact that the police never found the drunk who ran Ryan's wife off the road makes closure impossible.

Then, years later, chilling words from an anonymous tipster turn the accident into a homicide: "I know who did it."

Ryan then makes a stunning discovery. The tip may have come from Chelsea's own brother, Babes, who has an autism-related disorder. But why would Babes have withheld this information for three years? And what finally made him come forward anonymously?

The demand for answers sends Babes on the run and a cover-up begins to unravel that reaches back to the night of Chelsea's death, and that may implicate one of New England's most powerful families.
