In a dying desert town, three thieves found the perfect scam. They picked the wrong woman to cross.
Sunset, New Mexico is a town running on empty-shuttered mines, broken promises, and people clinging to the only luxury they have left: their televisions.
Duke Alvarez sees an opportunity. Along with lock specialist Leo Ortiz and smooth-talker Marco Ruiz, he devises a brilliant con: steal the TVs, then pose as mystical healers who can recover them-for a price. Create the problem. Sell the solution. Get rich.
The money flows. The town falls for it. Until Carla Torres arrives.
She's not a customer. She's not a victim. She's the woman Duke ruined years ago, and she's spent months planning her revenge. Carla infiltrates the gang, earning their trust while secretly feeding evidence to Detective Sam Keane.
As the cons grow bolder and the cash piles higher, paranoia tears the thieves apart. Carla watches from the shadows, waiting for her moment.
On the night of their biggest heist, she springs the trap.
Greed made them partners. Betrayal will make them pay.
