But when a strange string of luxury thefts lands him on a late-night stakeout, he stumbles into a case that's anything but routine. With a grizzled partner, a city wired for control, and secrets layered like candy shells, Reign must follow his instincts—and his unusual talent—to uncover what's really going on.
