Mob accountant, Anthony Costello, is murdered in his kitchen. Three women were in the house with him at the time of his murder and all have fled the scene. They are his wife, Anna, the maid, Serena and the chef, Sarah. The story is told from the perspective of four people – Anna, Serena, Sarah and Sarah’s husband, Detective Sean Walsh.
This is a stand-alone and not part of any of Patterson’s series. None of these women are not blaming themselves for the murder but they each had a motive. There are also interrogations as part of the chapters/story telling in the book. Typical James Patterson chapters – short and sweet.
It was an ok book. Even though the chapters were short and one can usually fly through a JP book, it took me a while to get through this one. Not sure if it was the writing of the co-author or just the story itself, but this one left me kinda…meh. ( )

Accountant Anthony Costello has a talent for manipulating both numbers and people, turning losses into profits, enemies into allies—and vice versa. When Costello is found murdered in his own home, three suspects had motive. All three had access to his home. And all three women are missing. Are they in the wind—or in the grave?

Eyes are on Detective Sean Walsh, whose personal connection to the case is stronger than leads to solve it. Neither the powerful bankroll behind Costello nor Walsh's vengeful superior officer can budge the investigation, yet as Walsh continues to dig, he uncovers even more reasons the women have to stay hidden—from the law, and from each other.
