Then his beloved wife Rosie does something terrible, and James must choose: report it--or help her. He knows how this works, and he tells himself he's smart enough to get away with murder. But James's worst enemy knows what they have done--and he won't hesitate to use it to manipulate him. James is dragged into a dark and dangerous world. As events spiral and loyalties are tested, he realizes there's only one way out. And that is to be even more ruthless than the people he's working for. Whatever happens, no matter how far he falls, at least he'll still have Rosie. Won't he?
