Detective George Donavon doesn't plan to stay in Charleston long. Skeptical and by-the-book, he's on the fast track to the top, and he won't let anything derail his career. Especially not Andi Hayes, his grumpy, awkward new partner--and not the chief's secret order to find out how said partner solves even the most difficult cases. George and Andi can't agree on anything except their mutual dislike, but when three dead girls turn up at a storage unit, they must put their differences aside before the suspected trafficking ring claims another victim. There is no crime without witnesses. Andi knows George suspects his always-right "hunches" point to corruption, but he doesn't care. All that matters is catching a killer. and keeping his secret. But with leads on this sprawling conspiracy drying up, he has no choice. He just can't let his partner find out how he's getting the information. Andi's on the verge of losing his life, his mind, and his career. He could take George down with him. If the violent criminals who are always one step ahead don't get to them first.
