"Thrilling and entertaining." Reader review.

Okay. Their last case was an unintended surprise, but now it's time for Miranda and Parker to relax and get back to retirement.

Except Curt Holloway, Miranda's old buddy and teammate, has other plans. When he decided to leave the Investigative Agency, Parker put Holloway in his place as acting CEO.

Now Holloway wants out.

Well, just for a week.

Or so he says.

His ex-wife needs him, he says. He has to go, he says. Looks like he might walk for good if Miranda and Parker don't say yes. And so they do. It's not so bad. Everything is hunky dory for a while.

Until attorney Antonio Estavez shows up and tells them a convicted felon he once defended in court has escaped from prison.

And he's coming to kill him.

They have to find this dangerous fugitive before it's too late.

So much for retiring.
