Description

"Gritty, clever, intelligent, and shocking-all a reader could wish for in both a mystery and a thriller." -Lisa Regan, USA Today and WSJ bestselling author

Counsel Fungo, female bounty hunter, has art thief/forger/bail jumper Sebastian Leone in custody. She now owns his future. Leone pleads his way out of going to jail by dropping names of bigger fish, and Counsel hears one that interests her: Mercer Crawford, CEO of a large pro-gun activist group. Counsel disagrees with Crawford's gun politics and looks to exploit his affinity for stolen art and embarrass him and his organization. The stakes increase when she learns of his other sideline: brokering illegal arms sales, the kind that can topple governments.

Aaron Pappas's murder convictions were just overturned. He identifies as a man but was born a woman, and he re-enters society after thirty years in prison and excessive solitary confinement. The DA who convicted him, now a senator, is running for US president. Too much prison solitary does things to a person, all of them bad. Aaron can't legally own a gun, but he can build one.

Days count down to the presidential campaign's final debate. Counsel and her working dogs will be there. Crawford, his stolen art, and an eighteen-wheeler full of assault rifles will be nearby. Aaron will be there, and he will make history.

A clever, twisty, timely, action-filled plot.
