A riveting new thriller featuring an ambitious female investigative reporter in Austin, Texas by New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin.
When a woman is found brutally murdered on Austin's lakeside hike-and-bike trail, investigative reporter Bailey Rhoads turns up on the scene demanding access and answers. She tries to pry information out of the lead detective, Jacob Merritt. But this case is unlike any he's ever seen, and nothing adds up. Bailey has a hunch the victim wasn't who she claimed to be and believes this mugging-turned-murder could have been a targeted hit. When she digs deeper, the trail leads her to a high-tech fortress on the outskirts of Austin where researchers are pushing the boundaries of a cutting-edge technology that could be deadly in the wrong hands. As a ruthless hit man's mission becomes clear, Bailey and Jacob must embark on a desperate search to locate the next target before the clock ticks down on this lethal game of hide and seek.
Bailey is an investigative reporter trying to stay ahead of the competition. Jacob is a homicide detective that doesn't care for reporters. An inexplicable murder that turns up no leads, no I.D., no murder weapon, & no suspect has both of them pursuing information in different areas of Austin. Faced with trying to solve the murder with each other's help they form an uneasy alliance trying to build trust with each other. Jacob is a protector and tries to fight his attraction to Bailey and she decides to go all in. Leads take them into territory that turns deadly as they both fight for their lives and will they survive to be with each other? Twisty and fast read that I read in one day. Looking forward to the next in series
Better than I expected

I was really skeptical of this book. I’ve been trying to find good mystery/crime books and most have let me down. I seriously couldn’t put this book down. I finished it in a day. Loved this book and can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out!
