FBI Agent Laurel Evertsonâs investigation into a scam targeting the elderly takes an unexpected twist when key evidence leads her to Morton Wilmington, a felon she arrested five years ago on her first undercover assignment. That case has haunted her since, and though sheâs vowed to forget Wilmingtonâand what she sacrificed to put him awayâhe is now her best lead.
Houston Police Officer Daniel Hilton fears his grandparents may be the scammerâs next targets, and heâll do anything to protect his familyâeven force interagency cooperation. But heâs quickly drawn to Laurelâs empathy and zeal and agrees to follow her lead . . . even if it means teaming up with a felon.
As the unlikely trio uncovers evidence suggesting the scam is more extensive and deadly than they imagined, both Laurel and Daniel find themselves in the crosshairs of a killer. Together they must decide if they can trust Wilmingtonâs claims of redemption, or if heâs leading them straight into a double cross.
