Dogleg Island Police Chief Aggie
Malone has spent years searching for the identity of her birth father. Now, thanks to a home DNA test, she has a
lead… but it’s taking her in a direction she never could have imagined, and
desperately does not want to go. Because
the evidence suggests that Aggie could be the daughter of the infamous Angelo,
head of the deadly Ghost Syndicate crime empire.
Matters become more complicated
when Aggie’s canine partner, Flash, discovers an abandoned child on the beach.
The little girl can tell them nothing about how she got there, but she is
clutching a Santa Muerte statuette—a symbol of protection in Hispanic
culture, but also the notorious insignia for a drug cartel. Aggie’s husband, Deputy Sheriff Ryan Grady,
becomes involved when the case intersects with his own investigation into the
Ghost Syndicate, leading them all down a dark path fill with treachery and
deceit in which no one is above suspicion.
Grady unearths a secret
organization with sinister connections to the past that may provide the key to bringing
down the Ghost Syndicate. Aggie comes
closer to discovering Angelo’s true identity and, perhaps, the truth about her
own parentage. But even as the final
pieces of the puzzle fall into place, a plan for revenge that has been decades
in the making is unfolding around them. Unless Aggie, Grady and Flash can stop it they
risk losing everything they love… even Dogleg Island itself.
