Kira Brightwell thinks she knows her best friend and roommate pretty well—better than anyone else, at least.

Rob's life seems straightforward from the outside. He stays in the apartment and keeps to himself, preferring the company of his laptop to most other people (Trevor Wright in particular).

He gathers information from behind the scenes, while Kira takes the lead out in the real world in her ongoing search for the serial abductor known as Procurer.

But Rob has a secret. Something he keeps even from Kira.

...And an unexpected case threatens to expose everything.

A fun, stand-alone story from the Kira Brightwell Quick Cases mystery series by the author of the Mackenzie Quinn mysteries, Jacquelyn Smith.

(This adventure takes place between the Kira Brightwell novels Split Decision and Black and Blue.)
