A former crush. An ongoing investigation. A criminal mastermind. At least Mal isn't doing it all on her own this time around.

Detective "Mal" Malone's life has turned upside down. Her office has been taken over by a new friend and employee, Suzy, and Suzy's husband, Sam, who persistently pops in like the techie-rockstar and wanna-be detective that he is. She has to take on enough work to keep the lights on, but she's dedicated to finding a way to nail slippery Dessi to the concrete floor of the jail cell.

A new case of stolen jewelry highlights Sam's strengths and puts a new spin on how she does her job. Then, an unexpected visit from Rhodes, a fireman she shared a combustible history with, joins her on an out-of-state journey to find his estranged father. What could go wrong?

The new team comes together to devise a carefully laid plan that leads her directly into the lion's den. Mal's been caught in his web once before. This time, will she make it out alive?
