Hannah met her husband Owen two years ago and even though she feels like she knows everything about him, she is completely and utterly wrong. One morning, news breaks that Owen's company is being investigated by the FBI & that the CEO -Owen's direct boss- has been arrested. Owen goes missing and Hannah doesn't hear from him, except for a note that is delivered by a 12 year old girl who says he paid her to deliver the note to Hannah and it says "Protect her". Hannah knows this means to protect Bailey, who is his 16 year old daughter and Hannah's stepdaughter. Their lives change in an instant, leaving them both broken and hurt and confused plus, their neighbors are mad at them, the FBI and a U.S. marshall come around.. It quickly becomes overwhelming and distressing.

Like some other reviewers have mentioned, I think more description of Hannah and Owen's life before his disappearance would have increased my investment at the beginning of the story. Nevertheless, it was refreshing to read a thriller where the relationships and emotional tension were as important as the more superficial drama!
