Kealy Ryerson has everything a New York socialite could want: wealth, power, a devoted husband and loving children. Then her husband, a high-profile defense attorney, calls while she's at the salon. "Run" he says. "Take the children. Go now. Trust no one."
Kealy's hesitation is fatal---within a half hour, her husband is dead, shot down in the street. Her apartment is under surveillance; she has no money and no passport. Her credit cards have been cancelled. She and her teenage kids are alone on the streets, with only their wits to keep them alive. But without her fancy clothes and expensive make-up, no one recognizes Kealy---not her husband's
partner, not her best friends.
As a poor woman of a certain age, Kealy can walk invisible among the people who want her dead.
