An emotionally charged, heart-stopping thriller about one man's determination to take back his stolen life.
What if everything in your life was a lie?
Things are going well for 24 year-old Evan Casher: his career as a
documentary filmmaker is booming and his relationship with his new
girlfriend, Carrie, couldn't be better. After an urgent phone call
from his mother, he makes an unexpected trip home to Austin. Then the
unthinkable happens. He arrives to find his mother brutally murdered,
and narrowly escapes an attempt on his own life. Spirited away
from the scene by an enigmatic mercenary with an agenda of his own,
Evan is confronted with a shocking fact: his entire life has been
little more than a carefully constructed lie.
Pursued by a powerful, ruthless organization of killers who will
stop at nothing to keep old secrets buried, Evan's only hope for
survival is to uncover the truth about his family...and his own past.
With his mother's attackers fast on his heels and with no one to
trust—not the authorities, his father, nor the woman he loves—his
perilous search takes him from the Texas Hill Country to New Orleans,
to London, and to Miami. Full of unforgettable characters and jolting
plot twists, Panic is an emotionally charged,
heart-stopping thriller about one man's determination to take back
his stolen life.
