River City is under siege.

Cars are disappearing at an alarming rate—from quiet neighborhoods, busy shopping centers, even residential driveways. What begins as an embarrassing crime wave quickly becomes a citywide crisis, and the pressure to stop it lands squarely on Sergeant Katie MacLeod's shoulders.

Her assignment sounds straightforward: build a plainclothes anti-crime unit and shut the thieves down.

Reality is anything but.

With a handpicked team of determined officers, Katie enters a dangerous world where stolen vehicles are only the beginning. Behind every theft lies a larger criminal operation fueled by greed, desperation, and violence. The closer the team gets to the truth, the more they realize they're hunting people with everything to lose—and nothing left to fear.

Working long nights in unmarked cars, they know a single mistake could destroy months of work, cost a career, or claim a life.

Fast-paced, authentic, and written by a former police officer, this gripping police procedural delivers the tension, teamwork, and hard-earned realism fans of Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, and Joseph Wambaugh crave.

Because in River City, the night doesn't always give everyone back.

Book #16 in the award-winning River City series.
