Ann Silver works as the Midwest Homicide Investigator, helping local police solve their toughest murder cases. Paul Falcon leads the FBI's murder investigations for the region, handling cases involving federal employees and security clearance holders. When Ann transfers a case to Paul's desk, their professional paths cross over a car accident and suspicious death that might connect to a hired killer Paul has been hunting. Paul finds himself drawn to Ann beyond their work together. As he learns more about her, he discovers she moves in circles of spies, soldiers, and U.S. Marshals. She writes books about these people and counts the former Vice President among her friends. Those with every reason to guard their secrets trust her completely. Paul wonders what Ann might be hiding until she reveals the John Doe Killer case file. Through this revelation, he begins to understand the true identity of the woman he is falling for.
