SHE COUNTED DOWN HER TIME TO FREEDOM, WITH BOTH ANTICIPATION AND DREAD.

Mace Perry was a maverick cop on the DC police force who lost everything when she was framed for a crime she didn't commit. She spent two years in prison and now she's trying to rebuild her life. But first she's determined to hunt down the people who set her up. Even with her police chief sister by her side, she needs to work in the shadows. There are those with power out there just looking for a reason to put her back behind bars and she needs to find the reason why.

A female partner at a city law firm is found murdered and it seems her fate is entangled with Mace's story. As the investigation deepens, Mace finds herself drawn into both the public and private world of the nation's capital as dark secrets begin to emerge. If she's to prove her innocence, she will need all her skills to reveal the truth, confront her enemies and regain her life.
