Childhood friends, Sarah and Jennifer, have always been careful.
After Jennifer’s mother was killed in a car accident, the two young women grow up determined to protect themselves from trauma. Together, they draw up a list of actions to avoid in order to keep them out of danger:
Never go out alone after dark.
Never get in the car.
Never take risks.
Never trust anyone.
But one fateful night, Sarah and Jennifer make a mistake; after a party, they accept a cab ride home, with horrifying consequences.
Ten years on, Sarah is still struggling to resume her normal life but the scars remain.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Less could have been more in Zan's riveting but flawed debut, a psychological thriller. A decade after Sarah Farber helped convict Jack Derber, a University of Oregon psychology professor, for keeping her, along with her best friend Jennifer and two other college-age girls, shackled and naked in the cellar of a remote cabin for almost three years, in between bouts of torture, Sarah leads a hermetic existence as an accountant with a new identity in New York City. Meanwhile, Derber manages to send creepy letters to Sarah and his other former captives via the FBI while imprisoned. With Derber's first parole hearing looming, Sarah resolves to fly cross-country and attempt to follow the clues in these missives to find evidence that might put the sadist away for good. As Sarah and the other three victims probe Derber's ties to a cultlike church that his wife attends, Zan delivers harrowing, if often far-fetched, and not for the faint-hearted, action. 5-city author tour.
