She has a target on her back. Guarding her is not enough.
Civil rights and police-shooting activist Malia Goodman has made powerful enemies.
Someone wants her dead.
Private investigator Merrill Monroe asks detective John Jordan to protect her-but protection isn't enough. Merrill wants John to do something far more difficult.
Find the would-be killer before the killer finds Malia.
The suspects are everywhere.
Rogue cops. Homegrown terrorists. Right-wing militants. Even supposed friends close enough to Malia to know her movements-and get close enough to kill her.
John is accustomed to investigating murder after it happens. This time, he has to solve one before it does.
Because guarding Malia can keep her alive only so long.
As John works through the threats, lies, and competing motives surrounding her, one question becomes increasingly urgent:
Who wants Malia Goodman dead badly enough to risk everything to kill her?
The killer only has to succeed once.
John has to stop them every time.
Someone is coming for Malia. John must identify the killer before protection fails-and murder becomes the case he was supposed to prevent.
