## About this book

Paul and Chelsea Tanner leave their wedding with everything ahead of them, and Paris seems the obvious place to begin married life. Then a day trip into the French countryside ends with the newlyweds kidnapped, and nobody can say who has taken them or why. Worse still, it seems they are not the first couple this has happened to.

The search soon crosses borders, drawing in the FBI, the CIA and French intelligence, each trying to fit the pieces together. When the answers refuse to come, a young lawyer is recruited as bait in an elaborate CIA operation, a turn that carries John Grisham some way beyond the courtroom and into the business of spies. For anyone who likes their thrillers lean, fast and full of reversals, with a lawyer caught in the middle.
