A family, and the security to enjoy it: that's all Tom and Anna Reed
ever wanted. But years of infertility treatments, including four failed
attempts at in-vitro fertilization, have left them with neither. The
emotional and financial costs are straining their marriage and
endangering their dreams. So when their downstairs tenant - a recluse
whose promptly delivered cashier's checks were barely keeping them
afloat - dies in his sleep, the $400,000 they find stashed in his
kitchen seems like fate. More than fate: a chance for everything they've
dreamed of for so long. A fairy-tale ending.
But Tom and Anna
soon realize that fairy tales never come cheap. Because their tenant
wasn't a hermit who squirreled away his pennies. He was a criminal who
double-crossed some of the most dangerous men in Chicago. Men who won't
stop until they get revenge, no matter where they find it.
