About the book
At the end of the highway, the nightmare commences.
Transferred to a peaceful field office in Albuquerque following a mysterious breach of data, FBI agent Emily Slate is feeling restless. However, after the discovery of a young woman’s body in the New Mexico desert, she is thrown into a case that appears to be much more perilous than it initially appeared. With only her partner Zara by her side, Emily soon realizes that this was no random act of violence - but rather a piece of something much larger.
As they delve deeper into the investigation, Emily and Zara uncover a twisted web of deceit and disloyalty, a scheme that extends across the desolate desert and poses a threat to more lives. Racing against the clock, they must untangle the deadly plot before the perpetrator strikes once more - and before they themselves become the next victims.
In the vast expanse of the desert, danger lurks closer than one may perceive.
