Part of Lucy Kincaid, book 17
First published 2020
Lucy Kincaid's world collapses when her husband Sean Rogan gets arrested for murder. The FBI agent knows Sean is innocent, but her boss orders her to stay away from the case. Then the attacks multiply. Sean's brother Kane vanishes in Mexico. Lucy's partner Nate Dunning faces cocaine possession charges. Someone kidnaps her friend Brad Donnelly right outside DEA headquarters. Lucy recognizes the pattern. Eighteen-year-old Elise Hansen Hunt has been released from juvenile detention with revenge on her mind. Two years ago, Lucy put Elise away for her role in organized crime. Now Elise wants payback. But Elise lacks the resources for such an elaborate scheme. Someone else is pulling the strings, maybe Elise's father from his prison cell, or perhaps a more dangerous enemy entirely. Lucy must identify the mastermind before Sean pays the ultimate price. Every person she cares about becomes a target in this deadly game.
