Lizzie Rush has built a case against billionaire Norman Estabrook and his international crime network. Her hotelier family gave her access to elite circles. Her spy father taught her survival skills.

One detective suffers serious injuries. Another detective vanishes. She happens to be the FBI director's daughter. Intelligence officer Will Davenport tracks down Lizzie with bad news. Norman Estabrook has escaped. Lizzie doesn't know how Will found her. She can't tell whose side he's on. But she needs his help to stop more attacks.
