A man desperately tries to track down his father--who was taken into witness protection years ago--before his enemies can get to him. Your dads not a good person. Your dad killed people, son. These are some of the last words Jack Givins father spoke to him before he was whisked away by witness protection, leaving Jack and his mother to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives as best they could. Years later, Jack is a grown man with problems of his own. Hes a talented but struggling author, barely scraping by on the royalties from his moderately successful first book. So when the U.S. Marshals approach him with a lucrative opportunity, hes in no position to turn them down. Theyre recruiting writers like Jack to create false histories for people in witness protection--people like Jacks father. The coincidence is astonishing to Jack at first, but he soon realizes this may be a chance to find his dad. Only theres one problem--Jacks father hasn't made contact with his handlers recently, and they have no idea where he is. He could be in serious danger, and Jack may be the only one who can find him. But how will he find a man he's never truly known? A man who has done terrible things in his lifetime and made some deadly enemies in the process--enemies who wouldnt think twice about using his own son against him.
