When he was nine, and his mother had her first deadly dance with
cancer, Harry became a thief. Someone had to find food and pay
the mortgage even if his mother was too sick to work. When his
mother finally succumbs to cancer, Harry leaves Chicago but
somehow he can't quite leave all of his past behind.
Harry lives a quiet, careful, rootless life - he can't afford to
attract attention or get attached - until he meets Miranda. But
just when Harry thinks he has a chance at happiness his old life
comes back to haunt him. Harry has had dealings with some bad
people in his past but none more dangerous than Carter LaPorte
and Harry is forced to run. But no matter what name he uses or
where he goes, Harry cannot escape. If he is ever going to feel
safe Harry must face down his enemy once and for all.
Only then can he hope to possess something more valuable than
anything he has ever stolen.
