Julep may have recovered some of her grifter mojo after the last month's catastrophes, but her search for Dani has gotten exactly nowhere. She’s still looking, but as the days wear on, she’s beginning to think Dani doesn’t want to be found.

Then she gets a call from a mysterious source, who tells her that the information she desperately needs to both locate Dani and unlock the blue-fairy flash drive can be found at the Chinese consulate. What the caller fails to mention is that the same information will drop Julep straight into a conspiracy that threatens the entire city of Chicago.

With a few new rookies along for the ride, Julep and her associates-in-crime must step in where law enforcement fears to tread to shield their home city from the shadowy threat.

Will Julep be able to outsmart old enemies, stay out of the crosshairs of new ones, and still find Dani? Or is she in way over her head?
