From award-winning romantic suspense author Jessica James comes another edge-of-your-seat tale of adventure, murder, and intrigue. A reporter looking for facts. A homicide detective looking for answers. When a string of suspicious deaths points to the State Department, it doesn't take long to uncover the agency's lies. Can they live long enough to reveal the truth? Landing a front page headline isn't why reporter Caitlin Sparks is investigating a string of suspicious deaths connected to the U.S. State Department. She has a personal stake in finding the killer. Detective Blake Madison has a connection to the murders too, and will risk anything to uncover the truth. But a journalist is the last person he'd rely on to help him solve a crime-especially one whose trail of evidence leads back to him. Joining forces becomes essential as the body count continues to grow. Someone powerful doesn't want the truth to come out-and will stop at nothing to make sure no one talks. On the run with nowhere to turn, the couple devises a plan to expose the killer. The risk is great and the chance of success small, but the ultimate outcome is something neither one of them envisioned.
