EVERY FORTUNE HIDES A CRIME. KARLA DIXON FINDS BOTH.A former member of Jack Reacher's elite Special Investigators unit, Dixon traded combat zones for corner offices. But the enemy is the same: predators who think they're untouchable.

Now working as a financial crimes investigator in New York City, Dixon uses her genius-level mathematical abilities to hunt a different kind of killer—the ones who destroy lives with decimal points and shell companies, who bury bodies in balance sheets.

When a case crosses her desk that the FBI won't touch and the NYPD can't crack, Dixon does what she's always done.

She follows the numbers.

Because every crime leaves a trail. Every lie has a ledger. And every predator eventually makes a mistake.

The only question is whether Dixon will find it before they find her.

In the dark world of financial crime, billions vanish with a keystroke. Reputations are currency. And the people at the top don't play nice.

Neither does Karla Dixon.

For fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci, Lisa Gardner, Gregg Hurwitz, and Karin Slaughter.
