What this book is about

Corte is a government protector assigned to shield a family whose lives are in danger from a skilled professional killer known as 'the Whittaker.' But the killer has a history with Corte, and the assignment becomes deeply personal. A standalone Deaver thriller that turns the usual cat-and-mouse on its head, with both hunter and hunted playing for maximum advantage.
