Kate Raab's life seems almost perfect-her boy- friend, her job, her family-until her father, a man she has always trusted and admired, runs into trouble with the law. His only recourse is to testify against his former accomplices in exchange for his family's placement within the Witness Protection Program. In a flash, everything Kate always believed she could count on is gone.
Now, a year later, Kate's worst fears have been realized: her father has disappeared-into what the WITSEC agency calls "the blue zone"-and someone close to him has been found brutally murdered. With her family under surveillance, the FBI untrustworthy and her father's menacing "friends" circling her with increasing intensity, Kate sets off to find her father and uncover the secrets someone will kill to keep buried.
