DESCRIPTION:

Give me one name. One person. And I will make them disappear . . .

When Sarah rescues a young girl in trouble, she expects nothing in return. But her act of bravery puts a powerful and dangerous man in her debt. He lives by his own brutal code, and all debts must be repaid - in the only way he knows how.

He offers Sarah a way to solve a desperate situation with her intolerable boss. A once-in-a-lifetime deal that will make all her problems disappear.

No consequences. No comeback. No chance of being found out.

All it takes is a 29 second phone call.

Because everyone has a name to give. Don't they? 


MY THOUGHTS:

Sarah cannot stand idly by when a young girl is almost kidnapped. Not only does she save her, but what she doesn't realize is that this rapid reaction would change her life forever.

When she is approached by the child's father, he makes her the most unusual offer ever: He gives her a phone and says she can make one call with it. This call could be used to make any problem in her life disappear forever. What a proposition! Is there indeed a problem in her life that Sarah would like to get rid of? Besides, that is the stuff of fantasies, right? No one has the power to disappear someone. Because, in fact, that is exactly what Sarah is thinking of.

As a college professor, Sarah's boss is not only strongly coming on to her, he has a reputation of harassing others. Sarah simply is not safe. The man will stop at nothing, and he has the power to bend things to his will. As a single mother of two children, Sarah needs her job, and it might be impossible to find another one. Can she manage to avoid her boss's crude advances?

Whether or not Sarah makes that one-in-a-million call is part of the thrilling suspense this book contains This leads to exciting, cheek-biting twists and turns that made this book utterly impossible to put down. I gladly gave this book Five Stars, just as I did his debut book Lies. T.M. Logan is an incredible writer and I am eager to continue reading his books.

Many thanks to St. Martins Press and to NetGalley for this ARC to review in exchange for my honest opinion.
