Tate Collier is the silver-tongued prosecutor whose successful career has finally caught up with him. When their daughter disappears, Collier and his ex-wife desperately want to believe it’s teenage rebellion. But insidious signs point to foul play. Indeed, the past has come back to haunt Collier—in the form of Aaron Matthews, a brilliant, Harvard-educated psychiatrist bent on vengeance of Biblical proportions. Matthews, a gifted orator himself, soon drops words for weaponry, and in his murderous rage will go to any length to ruin Collier’s life.

          Once one of the country’s finest trial lawyers, Tate Collier is now a gentleman farmer in rural Virginia — but danger has an unerring hold on him. Aaron Matthews, a brilliant psychologist, has targeted Tate, his ex-wife Bett, and their daughter Megan, for unspeakable revenge.
