Addison Hunter is convinced she has brought the Ghost to the small town of Solitude and it's her fault that more people are dying while she tries to uncover the truth. Just how many people will she put in danger before she calls in the FBI? Human trafficking and the people involved are closer to home than she could imagine. Money laundering, falsified birth notices and the death of one of her favorite people almost make her rethink her involvement helping Sheriff Silas Roberts get to the bottom of it. They get a break when Addy finds one of the safe houses where the young women are kept but before she can call in help from her FBI friend, Darlene, they disappear. Frustrated by always being one step behind, Addy demands that one of her informers push the limits and she gets caught up in an illegal funds transfer, compromising her credibility. When they hurt Dolly, the little dog she never thought she wanted, Addison begins to unravel, and the dark side of her personality raises its ugly head. Working for herself, she doesn't have to stick inside the lines that Silas does and that opens up all kinds of opportunities. She will stop at nothing to find and shut down the gang.
