In, out, announce. Easy. Except Salton's life never works that smoothly. And a gig gone wrong only begins the disasters. Thievery, lies, and betrayals propel Salton across the world, from Atlanta, Georgia, to the heat of Portugal and the jungles of Myanmar, where she must put everything on the line to save everything she loves.

A FAMILY AFFRAY With her father's death, mercenary thief Beaks returns to the place she hates most-her childhood home, to both pay her respects and make certain he's gone. She finds only lies. Determined to rip the truth out of the shadows, Beaks ricochets around the world, defying killers and government agents alike. With the man she loves and the secretive hacker Sister Silence, she targets a nightmare that turns suffering into profit and slaughter into joy. Family. It's worse than murder.
