Klappentext New York Times bestselling author Karen Rose returns with a breathtaking novel of suspense in the Cincinnati series-one that crosses the line between danger and desire, and justice and revenge. Homicide Detective Scarlett Bishop has seen enough bad guys slip through the cracks and innocent victims go unavenged to know that good doesn't always prevail. So far she's been able to lock away her rage and her vigilante fantasies. That lock is about to break. Former Army Ranger Marcus O'Bannion is a fierce champion of victims' rights.

To stop them, Scarlett and Marcus have to be just as cunning and just as ruthless. But first they have to make it out alive. Prologue Cincinnati, Ohio Tuesday, August 4, 2:45 a.m. Where is he?

Maybe literally. And not only her life. She’d risked the lives of every member of her family, too. If she was caught, all of their lives would be forfeit. Yet she’d risked it. Because of the baby. Everything she did was for that little bundle who smiled and cooed because she wasn’t yet old enough to know how bad the world really was. Tala would sell her soul to keep the baby safe, to keep her from being sucked into this hell—as Tala had been...
