Description: She is scared. Alone. Eleven years old. And the target of a nationwide manhunt. But why? Because Rachel is the most dangerous person in the world. Hunted by the people she escaped from, she cannot remember who she is, or why she is so important. When Sam Dryden instinctively helps hide this terrified young girl, he has no idea what he is unleashing. An ex-soldier with the kind of elite military career he's not at liberty to talk about, Dryden's a man well versed in secrets, and driven to do what's right. But as they race to solve the puzzle of Rachel's lost memory, he begins to fully appreciate the scale of the dangers they face. Rachel's true identity emerges - and it is a secret so powerful that no one can imagine its devastating effects...
