The most important rule of leaving the life of crime: don't go back.

Eliot Reed has a secret. He's not merely the successful businessman he appears to be. He's a former mafia enforcer in hiding who must avoid being noticed by the law-and the crime lord he double-crossed. So when he discovers a crime in progress, he should walk away. Instead, he goes to investigate.

Ada Reed (no relation) has a secret too. She's not solely the Interpol analyst everyone thinks she is. She's a highly successful cat burglar. She's never been caught-until Eliot Reed walks in on her as she's emptying a safe.

When the owner of the safe is found dead, only Eliot and Ada know he's been killed because of the USB drive she stole from him. But they can't exactly go to the police with the information. They could let the murder go unsolved-or they could investigate it themselves.

From the Interpol Headquarters in Lyon to the jet set of Monaco, the unlikely pair track an international crime league. They might be out of their depth, and their lives-unless they can pull off the perfect scam.
