"Someone is after former Secret Service agent Taylor Pasbury. Again. The top assistant of prominent televangelist Simon Mason has turned up dead. All signs point to embezzlement and suicide, but something doesn't add up. When Taylor investigates, shots begin to fly. As if dodging bullets isn't enough, another surprise awaits Taylor, and it's on her front doorstep. Her mother, who abandoned Taylor when she was a child, has reappeared. Soon Taylor, with her mother in tow, is careening down a twisting trail of danger and deceit, where nothing can be taken at face value. It's a path that leads to troubling truths about her family's past. A path that could lead to revelation and restoration. Or disaster."--p. [4] of cover.
