As a child, Jane Redmon heard the name Gleason in hushed whispers around her upstate New York home but never knew why. Now, a fearless Washington Post reporter digging into a corruption case, she discovers the truth: Twenty years ago, before he became a senator, a yound Michael Gleason ruined the career and life of her father, Tom, a public prosecutor on the rise.
Today Tom Redmon has bottomed out as a low-rent attorney living in an alcoholic fog and a crumbling house overlooking a lake.
Then Jane disappears.
Redmon sets out to find Jane, and discovers that she was last seen following a handsome attorney with sharp green eyes who promised secret files filled with the stuff Pulitzers are made of. Tom knows that the first 48 hours are critical. The tail becomes twisted as he travels 500 miles north, to a remote island in New York State where Jane has either fallen in love or is about to lose her life.
Another one of my favorite authors.
