About this ebook
Would you risk your life for a woman you've never met? A thriller about a simple wrong number that opens a line into terror. From the award-winning No. 1 bestselling author.
Henry Pierce has a whole new life - new apartment, new telephone, new number. When he checks his machine, he discovers messages for a woman named Lilly, and she is in some kind of serious trouble. Pierce is inexorably drawn into Lilly's world, and it's unlike any world he's ever known. It is a night-time world of escort services, websites, sex and secret identities. Pierce tumbles through a hole, abandoning his orderly life in a frantic race to save the life of a woman he has never met.
Pierce traces Lilly's last days, but every step into her past takes him deeper into a web of inescapable intricacy - and a decision that could cost him everything he owns and holds dear...

Its a fine book. The story is slow at the start but the story is not only fast at the end but is also unbelievable. The best thing about the novel is that all the chemistry used in this novel are REAL, yes you heard me right! (May be a spoiler) The novel is a combination of Science, Mystery and Action. As I told that the science was not a work of fiction, but story was. It shows determination of a person. It tells a man can do whatever he wants if he tries to do it. In the novel, Henry Pierce wants to know what happened to a girl named Lilly, and he does that, he ia not a detective, but a chemist. He did that even detectives (Detective Renner) and private investigators(Mr. Glass) were unable to do. He was much ahead of them. No matter what people did, he achieved his both goals and later found that they were linked to each other.
