Are you afraid of the dark?
(Books)

In Berlin, a woman vanishes from the city streets. In Paris, a man plunges from the Eifel Tower. In Denver, a small plane crashes into the mountains. In Manhattan, a body washes ashore along the East River. At first these seem to be random incidents, but the police soon discover that all four of the victims are connected to Kingsley International Group (KIG), the largest think tank in the world. Kelly Harns and Diane Stevens-young widows of two of the victims-encounter each other in New York, where they have been asked to meet with Tanner Kingsley, the head of KIG. He assures them that he is using all available resources to find out who is behind the mysterious deaths. But he may be too late. Someone is intent on murdering both women, and they suffer a harrowing series of near escapes. Forced together for protection, the two widows embark on a terrifying game of cat and mouse against the unknown forces out to destroy them.
