Catherine Bell was once the sharpest asset tracker on Wall Street, a woman who gave up her career and her clients for her husband Preston. Two decades later she learns he is sleeping with her stepsister Lacey, has forged her signature on a huge life insurance policy, and has stolen the pension savings of hundreds of retirees. Her brakes fail, her sedatives are laced, and the exits lock. On the night the policy takes effect, a fire is set to kill her.
She escapes through an old service shaft, quietly proves she is alive, and attends her own memorial. Under a new professional name she takes control of a fund and puts its money into the firm that hid the thefts. Digging through offshore accounts, she sets her enemies against each other. Aiden learns he is a pawn his parents planned to sacrifice, and Lacey takes hostages and runs. The final trap is about to spring.
