A sharp, professional Manhattan mediator rushes to settle a dispute between two nanotech companies, only to get pulled into a biotech family feud that could lead to a cure for her blind father—until leaked “confidential” books, an FBI raid, and a vanished CEO compel her to invest in the biotech research.
After losing $1m in the scam and learning the “FBI raid” that launched her involvement never happened, a dismayed Tracy hunts her con man through a nanotech company’s inner circle—then lures him into a deadly trap, forcing her to stage an alibi, coerce an her unwitting accomplice Marilyn into silence, and trade guilt for power just as a private eye gets dangerously close to the truth.
When a relentless private investigator uncovers the true identity of the dead con man and ties him to the nanotech orbit, Marilyn is ambushed by an overseas blackmailer and Tracy—racing to contain the fallout—hires an Asian security fixer whose “solutions” may be more dangerous than the scandal itself.
Unleashing a covert operation directed by her sometime lover, Tracy stages a bogus FBI probe to smoke out private investigator Richard and entrap Marilyn into betrayal, revealing the one loose end neither woman can control: the gun.
With a private investigator closing in and corporate loyalties unraveling, Tracy Shepard wages a quiet war to protect her secret—only to discover that ambition, desire, and revenge may destroy her long before the truth does.
