FBI Agent Laurel Evertson’s
investigation into a scam targeting the elderly takes an
unexpected twist when key evidence leads her to Morton
Wilmington, a felon she arrested five years ago on her first
undercover assignment. That case has haunted her since, and
though she’s vowed to forget Wilmington—and what she
sacrificed to put him away— he is now her best lead.
Houston Police Officer Daniel Hilton fears his grandparents
may be the scammer’s next targets, and he’ll do anything to
protect his family—even force interagency cooperation. But
he’s quickly drawn to Laurel’s empathy and zeal and agrees
to follow her lead . . . even if it means teaming up with a
felon.
As the unlikely trio uncovers evidence suggesting the scam
is more extensive and deadly than they imagined, both Laurel
and Daniel find themselves in the crosshairs of a killer.
Together they must decide if they can trust Wilmington’s
claims of redemption, or if he’s leading them straight into
a double cross.
