В своем последнем триллере автор бестселлеров New York Times Тами Хоаг отправляет читателей в наполненное напряжением путешествие, полное потрясений и неожиданных поворотов, ведущих к взрывному финалу. Это история бывшего полицейского, пропавшей девушки и убийцы, вовлеченных в гонку, в которой может быть только один победитель, а проигравшие умирают, пытаясь. В трейлере на болоте Флориды время восемнадцатилетней Эрин Сибрайт истекает. Пешка в ужасающей игре похитителя ради выкупа, который никто не может заплатить, ее последняя надежда - вышедший из строя бывший полицейский, который уже проиграл все - не один, а два раза. Богатый мир лошадей Палм-Бич кажется далеким от мира полицейских из отдела по борьбе с наркотиками. Много лет назад детектив шерифа под прикрытием Елена Эстес работала на грязных улицах и переулках BackTop, живя своим умом и играя на большие шансы, пока не пошла на один риск слишком много. Теперь Эстес живет на грани утраченной надежды и ненависти к себе, прячась от прошлого и полагая, что не заслуживает будущего. Но прошлое вот-вот вернется с удвоенной силой, а будущее вот-вот превратится в гонку между жизнью и смертью.
