But she’s never seen anything like the hauntingly brutal murder of FYSHBone, a rap superstar and media mogul. Cassandra’s instincts tell her that Sabio Guzmán, Bone’s risk-addicted celebrity lawyer, is keeping secrets worth killing for. With the Feds, the city’s biggest loan shark, and a vicious music tycoon all out to silence Sabio for good, the heat Cassandra feels for him is destined to bring explosive bad news.
