For reporter Irene Kelly it's a terrifying investigation—because it's so personal. Her husband, Detective Frank Harriman, has been kidnapped by terrorists who call themselves Hocus—deadly manipulators who give Irene three days to meet their demands before killing their hostage. But Irene's biggest shock is yet to come—as she uncovers her husband's history, and learns of a horrific crime committed a decade earlier. As seconds slip away, Irene willingly steps into a trap set by two madmen with a score to settle. And when she does, someone is going to pay for the sins of the past.
