Homicide Detective Scarlett Bishop and Marcus O'Bannion, owner of the local newspaper meet again over the dead body of a young girl who had asked for his help.

Even though he is a witness, Marcus somehow wheedles his way into a criminal investigation that leads them straight to a human trafficking ring.
Both of them are fierce champions of victims' right and both are ready to do whatever it takes to find all the people involved and shut them down once and for all.

There is plenty of mystery and suspense, with lots of dead bodies sprinkled throughout the book. The author introduces us to new characters, as well as brings in familiar people we've seen in some of her other books.

Bishop and O'Bannion have the hots for each other ....and feelings have deepened over the past 9 months even though they haven't seen or talked to each other in all that time.

I really like all the characters ... they are mostly believable. For a tall, dark and deadly Former Army Ranger, he's really just a marshmallow who is so tender-hearted he's not afraid to let people see him cry .. and he does that a lot. Scarlet is a fierce soul...who has seen so much for so long, she's having fantasies about what she'd like to do to some of the bad guys. And she's on the edge.....

And when the final showdown comes ... there are surprises ... and more dead bodies.
