This is the latest new novel from Christopher Rice!

Synopsis:

When a young flight attendant disappears during a terrorist bombing in Hong Kong, his sister must brave a series of conspiracies to clear his name.The central characters are Megan Reynolds and her petulant brother Cameron. Newly unemployed, Megan is holed up with their socialite mother when Cameron shows up at her birthday party, where they get into an argument about their long-gone father. Soon after, Megan starts working for Lucas, a wealthy cousin who sets her up as head of a nonprofit environmental organization. Her plans are derailed when a massive explosion rips through Cameron's hotel in Hong Kong, and a video camera catches him fleeing the scene with a Middle Eastern fixer. Following her brother's trail to Hong Kong, Megan meets a young Saudi prince named Aabid, who explains at interminable length about his involvement with Cameron. Uncharacteristically, her brother had rejected the prince's advances, and he'd also threatened to expose the bloodthirsty relationship between Aabid's wealthy family and Zach Holder, a ruthless American mogul who is one of Lucas' biggest clients.
