Basel, Switzerland, February 2001 : Fifty-six years after the end of World War Two, Switzerland's bankers finally agree to release 21,000 dormant accounts left behind by Jews who died in the Holocaust. Claims from the victims' heirs pour in from across the world...New York and Washington, September 2001 : The Twin Towers fall. The Pentagon burns. Western democracies scramble to meet a deadly new threat...Victoria, Canada, October 2001: For legal secretary Grace Palliser, the post-911 media circus is just background noise. Grace is too busy with the unholy mess she calls her life. But when she stumbles on evidence of a vast international fraud, her life gets a whole lot messier. Framed for murder and desperately searching for the evidence that will clear her, Grace flees across the continent to New Orleans, then to the Florida Panhandle, and finally to a small island in the northwest Caribbean. Hot on her trail is a corrupt former cop with a simple assignment - to Kill Grace Palliser.
