Leaving L.A.'s Parker Center, Shane Scully and his wife,
Alexa, agree to meet at home in one hour. Shane gets there;
Alexa doesn't. In the middle of the night, he's called to a
crime scene on Mulholland Drive: The African-American
victim, who appears to be a Crip gangbanger, has been
executed gangland style. Shockingly, the body is in Alexa's
car and her gun is found nearby. But Alexa is missing.
Shane's frantic investigation into his wife's disappearance
soon takes him inside a bitter and violent feud between two
rival hip-hop record companies.

At the center of this war is one of the most lethal
adversaries he's ever encountered: Stacy Maluga, a trashy,
beautiful Lady Macbeth-like white woman raised in Compton,
married to a multi-millionaire rap mogul and known in the
gangsta hip-hop world as the White Sister. Shane is no
stranger to big trouble, but this time he's met his match
in a powerful and media-savvy enemy who could put him in
jail, order a hit on him, or utterly destroy his
reputation. Worse, Shane fears that his wife may be dead
and that the White Sister is behind it.
