Mara Venn kills people who have already hurt someone and will do it again.
She checks everything first. Court records, witness statements, photographs, anything she can get. By the time she decides someone has to die, she believes there is no room left to be wrong.
Detective Lena Ortiz is new to homicide when she joins the task force looking for her. Lena knows what Mara is, right up until she watches her leave an unconscious police officer alive. Later, Lena catches her and lets her walk because another woman will die if she doesn't.
That decision should end Lena's career. Instead, it puts her close enough to discover that someone inside the police department has been feeding Mara evidence. Worse, one of the recent victims is a man Mara investigated and refused to kill.
Lena needs Mara to find out who is using them. Mara needs Lena because the police are closing in. Neither expects to trust the other, and neither has a good excuse for what begins happening between them.
The closer Lena gets, the harder it becomes to separate the woman she is falling for from the bodies Mara left behind. Mara may only kill the guilty, but guilt has never made someone incapable of being wrong.
