Instead, Maisie’s got to deal with fast-talking Lee Sharpe, a colleague determined to insert himself into her latest assignment, even though his motivation is more about being near Maisie than anything else. Is Maisie in over her head? She wishes she had Hank’s calm voice to talk her through what’s happening-readers could probably use an outside voice to clarify the narrative too-but Hank’s gone AWOL.

Vowing to get justice for him, she delves further into the convoluted drug scheme run by Violetta Veteratti. Though Maisie should be focusing on developing her latest cover, she’s distracted by the shooting of her brother, Cash. Now that Renko’s been smuggled to Serbia by Maisie’s actual boyfriend, Hank Bannon, Maisie’s on to her next assignment, as soon as she recovers from the injuries of her first. Not a girl to let something like that keep her down, Maisie talked her way into working deep undercover (she can't even tell her family) as the beard of mob boss Stannislav Renko ( Choked Up, 2015). One example? Maisie’s Da got her kicked out of the police academy, which should have crushed her dreams of being a cop like him.

Not only do they give her a hard time, but they’re also determined to keep her safe, which could be worse. A scrappy Chicago cop seeks her own personal justice when her brother is shot.Ĭoming from a family of five older brothers is tough enough, but Maisie McGrane’s family is all Irish cops and lawyers in the tough streets of Chicago.
