A Wall Street FUND MANAGER, indicted for embezzlement, vanishes from the world she knows and the family she loves amid the chaos of 9/11, in a desperate attempt to bring down the man who destroyed her life before he discovers she's alive.

SYNOPSIS:

TERRI RICHARDS (36) is blindsided by her partners when she's indicted for embezzling billions of dollars from the hedge funds she manages on the 86th floor of the World Trade Center. Her outrage, a vitriolic combustion of incense and betrayal, is a difficult read: is she a player or was she played? And then it happens; 911. Just as she's read her right to remain silent, a Boeing 747 impacts the North Tower not ten floors above.

Terri survives the attack -- no way to know if anyone else did. Her early-onset Parkinson's debilitates her escape, but the former mountaineer knows one thing for certain: getting down is mandatory. She fights her way to the plaza, now a war zone, strewn with debris, dead and wounded.

When the towers collapse, the high-yield hedge fund trader has the presence of mind to realize many victims will never be identified -- no one will ever know if she is dead or alive. This is a one-time opportunity to reset her life - to vanish without a trace.

While her presumed death obviates prosecution, it is not without emotional sacrifice: her identity as well as all contact with her young family must also cease to exist. Money, however, never dies and the race to find it forces Terri to retreat to her native Georgia where she must out fox a mercenary SKIP TRACER and unravel a billion-dollar crime before the man who destroyed her life discovers she's alive.
