Description: John Harper has always been alone. His mother died when he was just seven and he was raised in New York by an aunt he barely knew. He never even met his father's - a man who died shortly after he was born. After leaving the Big Apple as soon as he was old enough, his life consisted of one moderately successful book, a collection of affectionately received newspaper columns and a comfortable existence in Miami. Then everything changes. A robbery goes wrong - and turns John's existence on its head. It seems that his father didn't die all those years ago.
