A young woman and her partner stage the kidnapping of an imaginary employee of a company involved in a high-stakes corporate merger. The tables are turned when the imaginary kidnapping becomes more complicated than they'd planned.
"If you're thinking of committing the perfect crime, read Charlie Peters' elegant new thriller first. Find out just how many ways perfection can go wrong."
Dan Hearn, author, Bad August
"The plot is uncommonly complicated, but it is a testament to the strength and clarity of Peters' writing that the reader is never lost-this is a deeply tangled but not gratuitously convoluted tale. And it is strangely, even astonishingly, plausible, or least rendered so in the able hands of the author...This is a bewitching novel, bursting with insight, depth, and astonishing unpredictability. A rare treat-deeply thoughtful, strikingly original, and powerfully dramatic." - Kirkus Reviews
