When rookie cop Micayla Lange arrests a man she discovers breaking into her old family friend Nicco Marino's mansion, her troubles have only just begun. Because, as she pulls a gun on professional thief Jason Davis, he drops the bag he's stolen - and it spills open to reveal photographs of Micayla's genial 'uncle' Nicco handing money to a number of Detroit's most powerful politicians and law-makers. No-one was meant to see those photos, least of all a police officer. And - with close circuit cameras capturing every moment of Micayla's realisation that Uncle Nicco is seriously involved with the mob - she may now be in mortal danger. But Jason has a suggestion. Perhaps if they team up - then maybe there'll a chance they'll both get out alive... He's her only hope. But can she trust him with her life?

New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards delivers another unputdownable thriller.

Klog, udspekuleret og parat til kamp – der er kun én Bianca St. Ives i verden, og det gør folk klogt i ikke at glemme.Bianca St. Ives var for nylig igennem den helt store vridemaskine, men hun landede, som hun altid gør – og som hendes far har lært hende fra barnsben – på benene igen. Mens hun kommer sig over afsløringerne om sit ophav, der har forårsaget en menneskejagt uden lige, gør Bianca sig klar til at tage sin skæbne i egne hænder. Det er dræb eller bliv dræbt!I takt med at Bianca gør, hvad hun kan for at komme af dødslisten på det mørke internet, bliver hun involveret i et nyt stort kup: bryd ind i Pusjkinmuseet og stjæl kong Priams skat – en samling af uvurderlige artefakter, russerne stjal under anden verdenskrig – og aflever den tilbage til tyskerne. Umuligt? Måske, men for Bianca St. Ives ligger den slags normalt lige til højrebenet. Men for hvert skridt hun tager, kommer fjenden to skridt nærmere. Lever man som Bianca på lånt tid, har man dog ikke noget at tabe. Troede hun.  Liv eller død er lige så hæsblæsende og underholdende som Nomade 44 – og Bianca St. Ives viser endnu en gang, at hun i den grad er James Bond værdig.
