To most people in Eden Falls, Perry Garrett has it all.  Impressions can be deceiving.  Behind this façade of power and privilege lives an unhappy man poised to make a terrible mistake.

With his marriage crumbling and his financial security in jeopardy, Perry seizes upon an opportunity with a former colleague who has hatched a scheme that could yield millions.  But when the tables are turned, Perry Garrett is left holding the bag. His greed could cost him his freedom, or even his life.

Now Garrett has just one chance to evade the legal firestorm building over the Pawtuxet River Valley.  He must come up with a detailed plan of escape and then disappear without a trace … and he only has until Friday to pull it off.
