From the first day of the robbery at the Bellagio by Max Jessee and Roy Biers, Detective Ben Thomas is obsessed with finding Biers’ youthful partner. This fixation ultimately costs Ben his marriage, leaving him with a six-year-old daughter. For eleven years Ben keeps the case simmering until Biers is released from prison. Finally, Ben gets a break, and when Biers unexpectedly heads to Alaska, the young detective is only a few days behind him.  During the eleven years that Ben is stymied, Max Jessee has invented a new and prosperous life for himself. Now going under the name of Mack Jessup, he is living with Chloe Littlebird, an Alaska State Trooper assigned to the fish and game division, in Craig, Alaska. Chloe has a sense that Mack is hiding something, but she has no idea that the man she has fallen in love with is wanted for armed robbery. Things begin to fall apart, however, when Roy Biers appears without warning on Mack’s fishing vessel. Roy demands his share of the money, and Mack knows instinctively that the life he has built with Chloe is about to end.

This novel focuses on the choices that each person makes that irreversibly change his or her life. These memorable characters show that sometimes very good people get into terrible situations and must come to terms with the devastating consequences of their actions.
