Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Convicted of insider trading, Jamison Maddox reluctantly accepts a mysterious job that soon takes an ominous twist, sending him on the run from powerful and deadly forces in the latest thriller from Barry Award and Edgar Award finalist Mike Lawson.
With his reputation permanently marred by an insider trading conviction, Jamison Maddox, a young Wall Street broker, reluctantly takes a job doing research for a small company in the sleepy town of Redemption, Illinois. He's never heard of the company, or of the town, but he's out of money and options. Though Jamison notices right away that everyone in Redemption is in some way related to one another, the big city boy chalks it up to small town ways. And as for the company's seemingly extreme security practices, Jamison was planning on minding his own business anyway. But when he falls in love with a beautiful and enigmatic colleague, Gillian, Jamison begins to realize that he may be doing illegal work for the company. So when she asks him to run away with her, he agrees wholeheartedly. The two set off across the country, hoping to secure some money and go into hiding. The company is soon on their tails, pursuing them with the single-minded goal of silencing them forever. If Jamison hadn't realized how dangerous these people really are, he now realizes they will stop at nothing to protect the company. And he has no idea that his lover, a stunning woman shrouded in mystery, is as dangerous as the people he's running from."With his reputation permanently marred by an insider trading conviction, Jamison Maddox, a young Wall Street broker, reluctantly takes a job with Drexler Limited in sleepy Redemption, Illinois. Drexler Limited is run with an iron fist by a man named Claud Drexler, who tells Jamison that the company mostly does financial research for select clients. Jamison is surprised that an outfit that merely does corporate research has such elaborate security measures and that there's an information firewall between the lower-level employees like him and the company's managers; he's not even allowed to know the names of the clients he's supposedly doing research for. When he falls in love with a beautiful and enigmatic colleague, Gillian Lang, one of Claud's most trusted employees, he learns that Drexler Limited is engaged in wide-ranging illegal activities. So, when Gillian asks him to run away with her so she can be free of Claud and her cold-hearted husband, he agrees despite her warning that their lives will be danger. And about this, Gillian is telling the truth. A trio of well-trained killers pursues them across the country with the single-minded goal of silencing them forever. But Jamison has no idea that his lover, a stunning woman shrouded in mystery, is as dangerous as the people he's running from, nor does he understand her true relationship to Claud Drexler or what Drexler Limited really does"-- Publisher's description.
