Top Forensic Accountant with the Houston Police Department, Isabella (Isa) Phillips is unhinged. Her newlywed husband was found murdered in Albuquerque. But he was supposed to be on an undercover narcotics assignment in Houston. Isa's composed world unravels when investigators fail to provide answers to her mounting questions. Ignoring undercover rules and protocols, she quits her desk job and heads to Albuquerque's seedy drug underworld in search of answers. But when she finds herself joined to a by-the-book FBI agent on assignment, she discovers her life is really an illusion. Thrust into a world of deceit ruled by a power-hungry cartel leader, each of Isa's defense mechanisms are threatened and more-she's put her own life at risk.
