Trying to forget the anniversary of his wife's death, novelist Richard Frederickson is on a solo motorcycle trip to Canada when he discovers a man in his hotel bathtub whose throat has been slit from ear to ear. One murder is just the beginning of his troubles, and while trying to prove his innocence, he learns that a woman's death in a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan holds the terrifying secret of why the man was in his room. Murder, terrorism and even a little humor are wrapped in this new novel by the author of "What Time Is It," and "The Effect On The Soul."
