A woman's life is upended after she witnesses the aftermath of a deadly crime.Natalie should have gone home after the party. One of New York's hottest literary agents, she was celebrating her latest coup - next year's mega-thriller, sold at auction for §1.5 million. As the industry bows at her feet, Natalie can't help but think of her boss, Jay, a handsome dynamo who has been in love with her since her first day on the job. When the party ends, Natalie retreats to the office to clear her head. Lost in thought, she steps to the window - and sees something that strikes fear into her heart.A man in a trench coat scurries down the sidewalk, stops in front of a construction site, and hurls a pistol over the wall. Natalie doesn't realize the significance of this until the man sees her watching. They make eye contact, and Natalie knows her life will never be the same - now that a killer knows her face.Review Quote:One of the most robust and intelligent thriller writers of the past two decades. - Publishers WeeklyBiographical note:Thomas Gifford (1937-2000) was a bestselling author of thriller novels.
