FBI Agent Laurel Evertson’s investigation into a scam targeting the elderly takes an unexpected twist when key evidence leads her to Morton Wilmington, a felon she arrested five years ago on her first undercover assignment. That case has haunted her since, and though she’s vowed to forget Wilmington—and what she sacrificed to put him away—he is now her best lead. Houston Police Officer Daniel Hilton fears his grandparents may be the scammer’s next targets, and he’ll do anything to protect his family—even force interagency cooperation. But he’s quickly drawn to Laurel’s empathy and zeal and agrees to follow her lead . . . even if it means teaming up with a felon. As the unlikely trio uncovers evidence suggesting the scam is more extensive and deadly than they imagined, both Laurel and Daniel find themselves in the crosshairs of a killer. Together they must decide if they can trust Wilmington’s claims of redemption, or if he’s leading them straight into a double cross.

I truly enjoyed the suspense in this fast-paced action story. My favorite character was Abby, the grandmother! She's a force to be reckoned with. (Though it did seem out of character to have her reading Game of Thrones books...ugh.) I loved that she was such an outspoken Christian and so eager to protect her family.
Daniel and Laurel made a good couple and the mystery, as usual for Mills, had so many twists that it's hard to guess the ending. I managed to guess it about 80 pages from the end, but only because I know how much she loves to bring a good solid twist into the book.
