In this gripping new psychological thriller, two women—one a deadly con artist and the other a former detective—engage in a thrilling game of cat and mouse.
Mickey Gibson is a divorced mother of two little children and a former detective. She balances the rigors of her profession as a remote worker for ProEye, a worldwide investigative firm that tracks out affluent tax and credit fraudsters, with the demands of her busy life.
Mickey doesn't give Arlene Robinson's strange request to go inventory the abandoned house of a weapons dealer who defrauded ProEye's customers much thought when she calls her colleague. 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 weapons dealer not exist, but Harry Lancaster, a mafia member who was previously under Witness Protection, turns out to be the murder victim. Furthermore, Arlene Robinson is not employed by ProEye.
Gibson has quickly rose to the top of a murder investigation's suspect list, and unless she can demonstrate that she was set up, her career is now in jeopardy. Gibson soon finds himself in a cerebral duel with an anonymous, intelligent lady whose background is unknown and whose ultimate goal is as lethal as it is mysterious.
