He thought he had left his family.
He had been put.
Cassian Vance has not been a Vance in fourteen years.He has a Boston life. A Thursday bar. A rowing club on the Charles. A dissertation he never published because publishing it would have ended his father. An older brother in New York whose calls he does not, in fourteen years, return.
Then a woman in a camel coat walks into his bar on a February Thursday, sits down at his elbow, and tells him she is Adrian Kowalski's daughter.
Anya Kowalski has been looking for him for fourteen months. She has read his unpublished thesis twice. She knows what time he leaves his apartment in the morning, which seat he takes at which bar, which woman he has been politely not loving for six months. She has come to ask him for forty-eight hours.
What she is looking for is hidden inside his family's holdings. What she finds, with him, will rewrite every year of his adult life — including the fourteen years he believed, until a Tuesday afternoon on the forty-seventh floor of Vance Tower, that he had chosen on his own.
He gave her forty-eight hours.
She gave him back a man he did not know he had been.
