Rawlings pens novel of terror and intrigue
Nathan Bedford Forrest Finch started out as the youngest son of a Vidalia Onion farmer. Now co-owner of an international travel agency, he finds himself embroiled in a multi-layered mystery, beginning with a murder at the Eiffel Tower.
Surprised to learn he knows the victim - intimately, in fact - Nathan is immediately a suspect. From there, he quickly becomes a less-than-willing participant in an FBI operation to capture Hans Ulbricht - broker of stolen art, suspected terrorist supporter and likely true killer of Becky Tate.
To add to Nathan's chagrin, the FBI's plan partners him with Becky's highly emotional, and extremely beautiful, sister, Clair.
As the trail of subterfuge leads from Paris to Savannah and wends its way through south Georgia to Atlanta, Nathan and Clair begin to connect, sharing past scars and daring to hope for the future - if they live to see the future, once Ulbricht's true intentions are revealed.
