In bounty hunting, clean jobs are a myth. Dot knows-she's seen the blood. Dot Ybarra doesn't bluff. Fresh into her bounty hunting career, she's already earning a reputation for results. But when a "routine" rogue bounty-taken as a favor to her lawyer cousin-turns lethal, she's staring down a case with international reach, bodies in its wake, and the stench of power. Her business partner, T.J. Roman, is hiding a secret. If Dot finds out ... well, she can't find out. It would end the effective partnership they've built. But the trail won't wait. What should have been a clean pickup of a fellow military veteran spirals into a hunt through the shadows, where one wrong move could see them both buried in an unmarked grave. To stop the predators at the center of a violent trafficking ring, they'll have to go straight into its core-and make themselves the bait. Every step makes them vulnerable to each other as well. The devil's coming for them. Dot plans to be the one still standing after he bites.
