With her signature breathless pacing and suspenseful twists and turns, 'Laura Griffin never fails to put me on the edge of my seat' (USA TODAY).

A young private investigator finds out the price of keeping deadly secrets when a vicious killer sets his sights on her in this pulse-pounding thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of the Tracers series.

She alone may hold the key to finding a vicious murderer...

Private investigator Kira Vance spends her days navigating the intricate labyrinth of Houston's legal world. But, however shadowy its players and dark its secrets, the last thing she expects is for a meeting with her top client to end in a bloodbath. The police have no suspects but one thing is clear: a killer has Kira in his sights.

Fiercely independent, Kira doesn't expect - or want - help from anyone, least of all an unscrupulous lawyer and his elite security team. Instead, she launches her own investigation, hoping to uncover the answers that have eluded the police.

But as Kira's hunt for clues becomes more and more perilous, she realizes that she must take help wherever she can find it if she wants to stay alive...
