About the Book
The first cut is the deadliest.
Special Agent Emma Last is finally ready to confront the ‘Other’ side of her life—the part filled with ghosts that only she can see. However, her supernatural abilities must take a back seat as a real-world crisis demands her urgent attention.
Ghosts or not, the clock is ticking.
The D.C. Violent Crimes Unit joins forces with the Bureau’s Safe Streets Task Force to investigate a perplexing double homicide in the gritty underworld of gang territories. The crime scene bears an unusual signature—a bizarre, multi-bladed knife—suggesting a murder too peculiar and personal for a typical gang war. Besides, if the gangs wanted a war, they’ve had plenty of time to start one.
So why now?
As tensions simmer and the body count rises, a gifted but elusive graffiti artist seems pivotal to the investigation. But little does Emma know that unmasking the artist might unleash a torrent of danger, jeopardizing not just the case but also the lives of the entire team, with one member standing on the edge of a treacherous precipice.
