Steve Hogan works in an office in Madison Avenue, and his wife Nancy has a successful career as a personal secretary.

They leave New York on Labor Day weekend to fetch their two children from summer camp in Maine.

He notices a newspaper report that a woman, clearly Nancy from the description, has been attacked and was found unconscious by the roadside.

The French film Red Lights (2004), set in present-day France, is based on the novel.
