Hannah Keller, a Miami cop-turned-writer, finds a copy of her first novel, full of strange marginal notes, underlined passages, and other cryptic messages. She soon realizes that these scribbles are a code that may lead her to the murderer of her parents. Frank Sheffield, the FBI agent who failed to break the case, is now on a task force searching for a psychotic hit man named Hal Bonner. Connecting the two is the mysterious J.J. Fielding - an on-the-run embezzler who holds the keys to both cases. As they team up to unravel the crimes, Hannah and Frank are plunged into a world of deception and lies. Who is the woman stalking Hannah and her son? Why is Frank's boss trying to keep him away from Hannah? Where is J.J. Fielding? Most frightening of all, who will be Hal Bonner's next victim?
