THRILLER:  Mason “Mace” Perry was a firebrand cop on the D.C. police force working gang narcotics until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime. She lost everything--her job, her career, her liberty--and spent two years in prison. Now back on the outside, Mace tries to rebuild her life, and track down the ones who set her up. But even with her police chief sister on her side, she has to work in the shadows: there’s a vindictive US attorney looking for any reason to send her back behind bars. Then Roy Kingman enters her life.


Roy Kingman is a young lawyer who aided the poor until he took a high-paying job at a law firm in Washington. Mace and Roy meet after he discovers the dead body of a female partner at the firm. Their investigation into the lawyer’s death reveals dark secrets and takes unexpected turns through both the private and public world of the nation’s capital.
