Synopsis

A careful, methodical young data analyst for a California insurance company, John Walker knows when people will marry, at what age they will most likely have children, and when they will die. All signs point to a long successful career—until Max Stillman, a gruff security consultant, appears without warning at the office. It seems a colleague with whom Walker once had an affair has disappeared after paying a very large death benefit to an impostor. Stillman wants to find and convict her; Walker is convinced the woman is innocent. Now Walker teams up with Stillman on an urgent north-by-northeast race—relentlessly leading to a pay-off that just might shock the life out of him.

Goodreads review by Chris on February 26, 2022

There are several Thomas Perry books that I’ve found intriguing but this was a miss, it was too long, I thought the plot was muddled and it had many unlikely scenarios, behaviors and escapes.
