When Margaret Thackrey, ex-government agent and writer, decides to pen her memoirs, she unwittingly gets the attention of a vicious assassin - a man whose nefarious deeds she'd nearly uncovered during her service.

He murders Margaret's husband, and stalks her from Oregon to Texas, where she must finally confront her past - and a determined, stone-cold killer!
