Three weeks after his 23 birthday, Ethan missed the chance to save his brother's life when he was murdered on the steps of the courthouse in Jacksonville, Florida. Ever since that fateful day, Ethan has sensed a deep disconnect between the man he should have been and the one he has become. His days play out a beat too slow, his mind replaying the scene of his failure again and again.
But when his brother's widow appears, asking for his help in uncovering what was really behind his brother's death, Ethan is stunned to hear that she and her late husband were involved in a much larger case than he knew, one that threatens the global power structure. As Ethan joins the search for answers, he will enter into his own past and discover a means of redeeming his future.
Within the first pages of this novel my heartstrings were pulled. Ethan is dying, he has a lifetime of regrets. That right there pulled me in. I connected. I know about regrets. Don't we all though? Don't we wish that somehow someway we can fix somethings before we pass. I have to admit there was some of the story line that did not intrigue me, but the personal part of it, that was spectacular. The second chances, the being able to be at peace when your time comes...That gives hope for those of us dealing with deep regrets. Maybe for us too, it's not too late.
***Thank you to Revell for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
