Brilliant but troubled, Shannon Fairchild has abandoned her Ph.D. studies to settle into an unambitious life cleaning the homes of the wealthy in a California seaside community. When her academic parents are suddenly and horrifically murdered, Shannon discovers that they were part of the radical anti-war movement of the 1960s and begins to suspect that their killerβs motive may lie in their past. She soon finds that they were friends of Diana Burke and John Paul West, two of Americaβs most wanted fugitives, anti-war militants who went underground after a fatal bombing in 1968 and never resurfaced. Propelled by her motherβs dying words β "Find them and warn them" β Shannon sets out on a perilous mission to track down the couple and tell them that someone is after them β someone much more dangerous than the FBI. Her search, which follows their trail across western America, takes Shannon into unexplored territory when she discovers an unexpected personal connection to Burke and West. As she unearths long-buried secrets while trying to stay one step ahead of a shadowy killer, she feels the passions of the tumultuous Sixties being reborn, and she now knows that nothing is more dangerous than someone willing to die for a cause.
