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.
