She just rescued a British World War II pilot from a crashed plane. But what's he doing in modern day Bucks County?

Rookie cop Marti Coldwater gets more than she bargained for when she witnesses a plane crash and the only passenger is an amnesic young airman who thinks it's 1944. Soon, murderous men in suits and a sinister Nordic assassin are pursuing them. Their mission? Capture the stranger and kill anyone who's seen him.

On the run with her newfound companion, Marti is thrown into a web of highly classified government programs, astonishing alien secrets, and a clandestine plot threatening the entire planet. Now, her only hope of saving the world is to recover the memories of a man who may be the most dangerous of all-the man who calls himself Atticus.

Can Marti survive long enough to find out who Atticus is and why everyone wants him captured... and her dead?
