Publisher's Synopsis
She lived by the law until the law betrayed her. Now, she'll find justice the only way she can. Chicago-based U.S. Attorney, Abby Toth, is handed an unusual case that's far from the predictable ones of tax evasion, racketeering and drug trafficking she's been prosecuting for the past 7 years. This time, she's poised to take down a dirty undercover cop, Jon Brannigan, accused of the attempted murder of a Federal agent. Immediately, she is drawn into the world of Ivan Horvat, an alleged sex trafficker who will stop at nothing to protect and expand his international empire, including seducing Brannigan and his team with millions, securing their silence. With Brannigan's decision to provide the evidence Abby needs to bring multiple charges against Horvat, she is poised to win the biggest case of her career. All she has to do is provide immunity and witness protection for Brannigan's fellow team members. Abby becomes only one of his many victims when she is framed by Horvat for the murder of one of her oldest friends, Casey, taking her off the case she was set to win, forcing her to make hard choices that will change her emotionally and physically. She is looking for justice, and with Ivan Horvat clearly in her sights, she launches a plan that will compel her to embrace the new Abby. Her plan is dangerous and she must rely on a former lover, Drew Jones, Casey's protege, Des, as well as an aging crime boss to execute it. Betrayal, murder, blackmail and evil follow her, but she's willing to risk everything, even her life, to find justice.
