About the Book
There’s nothing like an old-fashioned bank robbery to get the D.C. FBI office moving, even as half the team are sidelined with the flu. But this isn’t a normal heist, and Special Agent Emma Last is no typical FBI operative, something her partner, Leo Ambrose, is quickly realizing.
And he doesn’t know the half of it.
As Emma struggles with her secret, a masked assailant stages a morning robbery, making off with forty thousand dollars and leaving a trail of chaos in his wake. Beyond the money, he forces the bank manager, a guard, and the only two customers—a mother and her young daughter—into the vault.
The loot? A safety deposit box containing nothing more than notebooks. The devastation? He murders the mother after cutting and collecting a lock of her hair. As a gift or a trophy?
Upon their arrival, Emma and Leo are thrust into a relentless chase, hot on the robber’s trail. But just like the ghosts that haunt Emma, he vanishes into thin air.
As the team tracks down one dead end after another, they discover this wasn’t the perp’s first heist. Or his first act of murder. Driven by a desperate need for money, Emma knows he’s on the edge of disappearing forever or striking again. The race is on.
