What would you do for love Would you die Would you kill

Landscape gardener Mitchell Rafferty was busy planting beds of impatiens for one of his clients when his phone rang. It was a voice he didnt know. We have your wife. You can get her back for two million cash.

Now hes standing in a normal suburban neighbourhood on a bright summer day having a phone conversation out of his darkest nightmare.

Mitch thinks it must be some kind of a joke. But whoever is on the other end of the line is dead serious. See that guy across the street

Rifle fire shatters the stilllness as the man goes down, shot in the head. An object lesson.

The caller doesnt care that Mitch has no way of raising such a vast sum. Hes confident that Mitch will find a way. If he loves his wife enough.

Mitch does love her enough. Hes got sixty hours to prove it. Hell pay anything. Hell pay a lot more than two million dollars.

A story of love, tenacity and courage with the pace of a runaway train, from its tense opening to its shattering climax, The Husband is a thriller that holds the reader in its relentless grip.
