When everyone's got something to hide, and murder is involved, investigating could get you killed.... Valerie Inglewood impresses everyone on the Strikeforce Team with her investigative skills, and word of her exploits travels far and wide through the law enforcement community. But nothing in Valerie's experience prepares her for the day when her beau Jeff Everson leaves for Florida, on an assignment, and Valerie's old flame Dan Henderson reappears in her life. Dan isn't what he seems, though, he belongs to a federal agency so secret that no-one knows it exists, and Valerie finds herself pulled into the highest echelons of elite law enforcement. With a case to solve, where nothing is as it seems, international gangs and people traffickers are involved, and the first suspect for a murder is a man who's already dead, Valerie has a lot on her plate. As if things weren't complicated enough, Dan won't rest until he steals Valerie away from her beloved Strikeforce Team to join him working for the super secret agency. But what will happen when Jeff finds out there's another man vying for Valerie's affections?
