'My name is Dr Maria Martinez and I am - was - a Consultant Plastic Surgeon. I am 33 years old. Place of birth: Salamanca, Spain. And I was convicted of the murder of a Catholic priest.' Maria is in prison. She says she's innocent and is fighting to clear her name. Because deep down she knows the truth better than anyone. Doesn't she?

Dr. Maria Martinez is out of prison and on the run. Members of The Project, a ruthless underground organisation, are after her. To survive, she has to keep one step ahead. A file exists, the contents of which could mean life or death for Maria. She must find it and then retreat to the safety of her family home in Spain. Little does she know that this might be the most dangerous place of all....

Dr Maria Martinez has finally escaped The Project facility that has been controlling her since birth. But in going against The Project's rigid protocol, the powers at the very top of the organisation will go to any length to re-initiate her. Their aim? To get her back in Room 17, where their intense 'training 'of Maria can be completed. Fleeing to Switzerland, Maria must never lose sight of potential danger, but soon finds there's nowhere to run....
