Payton Shields had known from the time she was a child that she wanted to be a doctor. Now she?s in her first year or residency at a major Boston children?s hospital. She?s made it to the top through relentless drive, stellar academic credentials, and a mountain of debt to Harvard Medical School. She?s working impossibly long hours but she has the life she wants.

Then, late one night, driving home through a heavy snowstorm, she sees a car coming straight toward her, driving her off the road and into a frozen pond. Rescue comes in the form of a man who pulls her from the wreckage and walks away. Yet nobody believes her story, that the ?accident? was no accident.

This is the first in a series of strange, escalating events that take Payton deeper into danger from a faceless enemy who seems to know her every move. And she has to turn her considerable determination into catching a killer before he catches her.
