The daughter of Mob boss Anthony de Angelis has disappeared. A nationwide police manhunt is underway, seeking her for the murder of her industrialist husband. Enter Hugh Holiday, coerced by de Angelis into tracking her down before the police do.This is the last thing Hugh wants to do. He already has a target on his back, hounded by a relentless Pittsburgh police lieutenant, who is convinced he can tie Holiday to a notorious, six-month-old murder.Hugh heads to Connecticut to pick up the trail. It’s far enough from his Pittsburgh hometown that he can transition from his life as a lifelong stutterer to his recently acquired British-speaking persona—a smooth-talking façade vital for his mission, but also one that if tied to him would be the nail in his coffin for the Pittsburgh murder.An involuntary outsider, Hugh’s navigated a lot of pitfalls in his almost twenty-four years. Mockery for his speech disfluencies and being framed for murder were just the appetizers. He’s now about to cross paths with a mysterious, tech-savvy organization, a sociopathic hitman, two bewitching women, and a wily and personable Bridgeport police lieutenant—all of who are about to make his life very complicated. And precarious.
