Lori Crawford’s world is turned upside down when her husband dies in a car accident. After 25 years of marriage, she thought she would forever live an uncomplicated, happy life with Jack. But just as Lori feels she’s coming out on the other side of her grief, Jack’s assistant at SpringWare, Rita Johnson, discovers information that convinces her that Jack was murdered.

Jack was like a son to sixty-three year old Rita. They’d worked side by side for twenty years. She was not going to fail to expose the truth about Jack’s death like she had failed in her relationship with her own daughter.

The two women vow to bring the perpetrators to justice. But time is running out as this fast-paced drama unfolds, and their names are on the kill list. The path the truth takes them on is one they never could have suspected. Was it even possible to link what they found at SpringWare to their prime suspect?

Enlisting the help of software developer Jacob Browning, small town homicide reporter Nathan Shilling, and washed-up beat cop Matthew Abernathy, they set out to bring down one of the the most powerful men in the country, the Director of the National Security Agency. But who will believe them? And how many more will die before they do? Now they have to decide if they have the courage, and the ability, to finish what they started.
