Hanna and Alex travel to Atlanta to celebrate her father's seventieth birthday. The unexpected arrival of two FBI agents at the dinner sets off a series of events that lead to a network of corruption so pervasive, it threatens to become one of the most devastating scandals in the city's history.
Back in South Carolina, Alex faces off with past enemies as he investigates a sprawling new gambling operation and the early prison release of an old rival.
In this ninth installment of the Hanna and Alex series, expect edge-of-your-seat action, unexpected twists and turns, and as usual, an ending that no one sees coming.
