ONE EMAIL SHATTERS MARK RIGHTERS WORLD. An honest accountant who likes to keep it simple, he's been at the same company for 23 years and prefers things the way they are: steady, with little excitement, and even less change. His health, eight-year-old daughter, and small suburban home are all he needs. But after that e-mail, everything is at risk. Somehow framed for a financial discrepancy that could send him to jail, at first he's just bewildered. But when the crime mysteriously disappears just as quickly as it emerged, it's clear just how out matched Mark really is.

When they threaten his daughter, it seems things can't possibly get worse. Enter the FBI. His life is infiltrated by agents demanding he try to outsmart the savvy criminals, or else.. and the only person he can trust suddenly disappears. But when he learns who the thieves really are, terror, corruption and deception surround him from every angle. Turns out it can and will get worse for The Reluctant Reckoner. A lot worse.

The deadline is approaching.
