Government secrets are being sold, and the newly sworn in president of the United States already feels out of options. Without knowing the full scope of the scandal, the president decides to turn to the one person he knows he can trust – former FBI agent Elizabeth James. Her deep distrust of the system is rooted in her unfair discharge from service. Now she sees a chance to restore her reputation and send a message to those who would use their power to destroy others’ lives.
Elizabeth is ordered to do whatever it takes to end this criminal organization, but she’s also told that this is completely off the books. Nothing can point back to the president until the entire network is dismantled. Elizabeth can rely only on her team, comprised of a computer whiz and a former air force pararescueman, to get to the bottom of the leaks. Every decision could cost them their freedom…or their lives.
What Elizabeth didn’t count on was her heart becoming as entangled as the lies she tells to uncover the truth. With her heart now in the game, Elizabeth works on guarding those she loves as she dives headfirst into danger. Can Elizabeth follow the leads and take out the leaders of the secret group before the whole world is thrown into chaos?

A great start to a new series Fans of Kathleen Brooks’ Bluegrass (all three) and Women of Power series are in for a treat with this book that starts a new series. It’s not the typical Brooks that fans have come to love. It’s darker, more complex, and the story is not tied up in a nice neat bow at the end (it’s not a cliffhanger, per se, but there are a lot of loose threads left hanging). Brooks’ previous books have been filled with suspense, romance, and humor, with a heavy emphasis on the latter two. She’s created…
