As a result of an amazingly complex case of mistaken identity, a nun is murdered in an idyllic setting in the Hudson River Valley, setting in motion a frantic search by the assassins for their "correct" victim.
Compounding their problem is the fact that they have discovered that not only did they kill the wrong person, but they now have two distinct targets to track and eliminate, with little time to safely kill those women, and an entire planet in which to search.
Raising the stakes against the hunters, both "targets" have become aware of their peril, and are taking vigorous action to stay alive. One, a celebrated television news investigative reporter, has video evidence that may well prove the undoing of her pursuers, provided that she can stay alive and get it into safe hands.
The other, a nun, has only her wits going for her--and a relative who is well-connected with a police department that just might not be infiltrated by the mobsters who are pursuing her. State Line University professor, Matt Shea, and his friend, Lackenby Police Chief, Joe Weiss, are Sister Michael Lorenc's only hope as she flees westward toward Lackenby, Illinois, from the east coast, dodging her pursuers by the narrowest of margins--perhaps.
Increasing the danger level significantly is the fact that a powerful syndicate leader has mobilized his deadliest resources--including a master of high-tech searching--to track and eliminate both women--quickly and, ideally, without evidence of criminal violence. And, in the shadow behind the syndicate, stands a clandestine politician, who has access to the stealthiest of "black" operatives.
A nerve-wracking race rages across the eastern United States and into the Chicago metropolitan area--with Death firmly behind the wheel.
Before the story ends, young environmental workers and a fledgling Northwest Indiana theatre consortium will be called upon to play significant roles in a battle against desperate killers intent on ending two innocent lives.
