Welcome back, former federal agent Alexis Parker.

Alex always said it'd be a cold day in hell before she'd step foot inside the OIO again, and the blizzard conditions outside prove her declaration true. But clipping on the badge doesn't mean taking a seat behind a desk or investigating a crime scene. It means infiltrating a local drug ring led by the city's most ruthless gang, the KXDs. Alex's main goal is to determine the international source of the drugs, but as usual, nothing can ever be that simple.While working undercover as a junkie stripper, Alex has to defend herself against gangbangers and perverts while convincing Steele, a KXD lieutenant, that she's just a girl willing to do anything to feed her addiction. Steele's demands start out simple, requiring Alex to use her position at the club to pass along product, but soon he wants her to branch out. The situation goes from bad to worse when she hears whispers that a gang war is brewing, and getting in deep enough to uncover the evidence might mean not being able to get out alive.

A restaurant fire is only the beginning...

After recent setbacks, private investigator Alexis Parker is ready for a break. She and Martin have plans. Big plans. But when a colleague ropes her into helping on an investigation, everything else might fall to the wayside.

The papers know him as Chef Easton, a rising star in the culinary world. But to Alex, he's just another client whose life is in jeopardy. He claims someone burned down his restaurant, but the arson investigators disagree. And so do the police. Could this be a publicity stunt? After all, any press is good press, right?

After receiving a frantic call from Chef Easton, Alex believes he's genuinely scared. The firebug wants to destroy Easton, and will stop at nothing to make it happen. However, proving it might be more trouble than it's worth. With her reputation and her client's on the line, Alex will have to proceed carefully. A misstep could cost them their careers or, even worse, their lives. Until now, no one's been hurt in any of the fires, but that's about to change. If Alex can't stop the arsonist, the city will burn.
