From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 6:20 Man comes
a twisting new psychological thriller in which two women—one a former
detective, the other a dangerous con artist—go head-to-head in an
electrifying game of cat and mouse.
Mickey Gibson, single
mother and former detective, leads a hectic life similar to that of many
moms: juggling the demands of her two small children with the tasks of
her job working remotely for ProEye, a global investigation company that
hunts down wealthy tax and credit cheats.
When Mickey gets a
call from a colleague named Arlene Robinson, she thinks nothing of
Arlene’s unusual request for her to go inventory the vacant home of an
arms dealer who cheated ProEye’s clients and fled. That is, until she
arrives at the mansion to discover a dead body in a secret room—and that
nothing is as it seems.
Not only does the arms dealer not
exist but the murder victim turns out to be Harry Langhorne, a man with
mob ties who used to be in Witness Protection. What’s more, no one named
Arlene Robinson works at ProEye.
In the blink of an eye,
Gibson has become a prime suspect in a murder investigation—and now her
job is also on the line until she proves that she was set up. Before
long, Gibson is locked in a battle of wits with a brilliant woman with
no name, a hidden past, and unknown motives—whose end game is as
mysterious as it is deadly.
