Bad news the threat that he has been tracking all these years he's been gone has set his sights on Baltimore and Luke's friends are once again about to become targets.

Meanwhile, Griffin McCray and his wife Finley Scott-McCray are on taking on the cold case of Griffin's murdered sister.

There is just one problem the evidence that was gathered linking these cases belonged to a murdered agent.

As the final book in this series, the action comes to a climatic couple of peaks as the two cases that have been defining this series come to their conclusions. And there are some interesting and unexpected twists that have a bearing on whether or not everyone will have the ending they've been working and hoping for. And can you say betrayal?
