Her unlikely request: help Andrew DuranΓÇöa man whose life has gone off the rails, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, bringing him to the deadly attention of very powerful figures. Now a brutal brother & sister assassination team are after him and with no one to turn to, and no safe place to hide, Evan is DuranΓÇÖs only option. But when the hidden cabal catches on to what Evan is doing, everything heΓÇÖs fought for is on the lineΓÇöincluding his own life.
