Laurel Dane has always been a force to be reckoned with, but adjusting to life as a new mom is pushing her to the limits. While juggling sleepless nights and the demands of motherhood, she can’t shake the feeling that the F.B.I. is dropping the ball on their pursuit of The Cradler, the elusive mastermind behind a string of child kidnappings—including her own decades earlier. Laurel suspects someone high up is pulling the strings, forcing the investigation into a frustrating standstill.
Determined to take matters into her own hands, Laurel considers a new path: opening a detective agency with her brother and their father. Just as they begin laying the groundwork, a sudden health scare with her baby puts everything on hold, sending Laurel into a spiral of fear and uncertainty.

Will partnering with Romero give her the freedom she craves to chase justice, or will the cost of owing him be too high?
