When Chip looks to up the ante and gathers the crew for his biggest score yet, Detective Brooks will need to collect enough evidence to take them down. But, always a step behind, Det. Brooks and her colleagues will need more time to bring Chip to justice. And as inner conflicts grow and loyalties are tested, Jody and the people close to him begin to question their choices. But can they get out from under Chip's control before it's too late?

Using a multi-voiced narrative, Brisbois' debut novel builds suspense with the introduction of each new character. A thrilling page-turner, the book will keep you guessing until the very end.
