Grace Lawson's seemingly perfect life begins to unravel when an old photograph shows up in the middle of her newly developed pictures. The photo has four people, one of which is her husband, Jack, at a younger age. When she shows Jack the picture, he denies that it is him and soon disappears. Grace and their two children are left wondering where he went and who are the other people in the photo. It soon becomes apparent that others are searching for Jack, and one of the people in the picture was murdered over 15 years ago. Grace doesn't know where to turn, who to trust, or how to find her husband.

This book hooks you from the beginning and doesn't let go. It is full of mysterious people, all of who have an agenda. It also has one of fictions scariest villains in hitman Eric Wu. I liked the story and thought Grace made all of the right moves in trying to find her husband; but the story did seem to lose steam toward the end. My rating: 4 Stars.
