Agents Savich and Sherlock are back in the latest installment in Catherine Coulter's #1 New York Times bestselling FBI Thriller series, and this time both are enlisted to help women with traumatic pasts who are in mortal danger.

When she was twelve years old, Kirra Mandarians parents were murdered, and she barely escaped with her life. Fourteen years later, Kirra is a commonwealth attorney back home in Porte Franklin, Virginia, and her goal is to find out who killed her parents and why. She assumes the identity of E.N.—Eliot Ness—and gathers proof to bring down the man she believes was behind her parents' deaths. She quickly learns that big-time criminals are very dangerous indeed and realizes she needs Dillon Savich's help.

Savich brings in Special Agent Griffin Hammersmith to work with Lieutenant Jeter Thorpe, the young detective who saved Kirra years before.

Emma Hunt, a piano prodigy and the granddaughter of powerful crime boss Mason Lord, was only six years old when she was abducted. Then, she was saved by her adoptive father, San Francisco federal judge Ramsey Hunt. Now a twelve-year-old with a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, she narrowly saves herself from a would-be kidnapper at Davies Hall in San Francisco. Worried for her safety, Emma's entire family joins her for her next performance, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

Sherlock and officers from METRO are assigned to protect her, but things don't turn out as planned.

As the concert begins, Emma is in the middle of her performance when a man suddenly rushes onto the stage. He's holding a gun and is demanding that Emma give him the key to a safe deposit box that contains a priceless diamond necklace.

Savich and Sherlock are quick to act, but the man is too fast for them. He manages to shoot Emma in the shoulder before fleeing the scene.

The agents and the police quickly launch a manhunt for the shooter, but he disappears without a trace.

As they investigate the shooting, Savich and Sherlock discover that Emma's abduction was just the beginning. They learn that Mason Lord has a long history of violence and that he is willing to do anything to protect his empire.

They also discover that Emma has a hidden talent that could be the key to bringing down Lord. She has a photographic memory, which allows her to remember every detail of her abduction and the events leading up to it.

With Emma's help, Savich and Sherlock are able to piece together the puzzle and identify the man behind the shooting. He is a former employee of Lord's who was angry about being fired and wanted revenge.

In the end, Emma is able to recover from her injuries and continue her music career. Lord is brought to justice, and the diamond necklace is returned to its rightful owner.

The agents and the police are hailed as heroes, and Savich and Sherlock are praised for their bravery and dedication.

As they reflect on the case, Savich and Sherlock realize that they have formed a strong bond and that they will be there for each other no matter what challenges they face in the future.
