Every crime has its price, but for one woman, the
cost may be too high
Elena Vargas is a material witness to a homicide, the shooting of a
foot soldier in an international mob cartel. But the sultry call
girl and sometime-mistress of gang lord Enzo Giardino claims to
have seen and heard nothing.
Desperate to make a case against Giardino, the district
attorney offers Vargas protective custody in exchange for betraying
her lover. But no one can make her talk. The case blows sky high
when a ledger is discovered, naming names and detailing the
operations of a criminal enterprise that stretches to the highest
levels of government.
Going on nothing but gut instinct, New York Police Department
cop Christie Opara uncovers something in Vargas’s past that could
give them the leverage they need. It’s a secret that will
reverberate in both women’s lives as Christie edges closer to the
truth about a mother and child . . . and an answer that has been
there all along.
