When Travis Delaney's parents die in a car crash, Travis is devastated.

What starts as a minor distraction soon becomes a sinister, unbelievable mystery -- and Travis is determined to solve it.

And why would a man who is in surveillance photos taken by Travis's parents turn up at their funeral? As Travis searches for answers, he starts to have the chilling realization that the question he should be asking is the one he most wants to avoid: Was the accident that killed his parents really what it seemed? An intriguing, exciting adventure from a master of suspense.
