They almost took her badge. Now she’s taking the fight to them.
Back on the force after a brutal inquiry, Detective Joy O’Farrell spares no time going after the man behind New York’s infamous crime family—Salvador Moretti. Her plan? Take down his supply chain, expose his NYPD mole, and finally end the reign of terror that’s haunted her from New York City to Pine Harbor.
But no plan stays clean when the enemy is this close, and his spies are everywhere. Recently released from prison, Liam Beckett offers Joy his help, yet his past with Moretti makes him a dangerous ally. But when the leash tightens, and every lead burns to smoke, Joy is forced to stake the case and her badge on him, a man whose motivations remain a mystery.
As loyalties fracture and bodies drop, Joy is pulled into a final confrontation where one wrong move could sink the entire case.
This time, there’s no running. This time, she’s bringing it all down.
