Synopsis

SHE LOVES HER WORK—CASE CLOSED.

IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway can calculate tax penalties to the penny. But seeing the world of white-collar crime through rose-colored glasses? Priceless.

Tara's career comes with a lot of pros and cons—which is a nice way of saying that she's kick-a$$ in her fight against professional con-artists. And she's tough enough to deal with all the money-launderers, tax-evaders, and other such criminals who cross her path . . . Until her own boyfriend, Nick, joins their leagues. Now all bets are off.

Nick is about to go deep undercover—and the stakes are higher than Tara could have ever imagined. It's all part of a joint task force with the DEA to bring down a powerful, violent drug cartel. It's going to take more than a pair of dime store shades for Tara to bring their dark deeds to light. Can she help Nick without blowing his cover . . . and ending up in harm's way herself?

I slid my gun into my purse, grabbed my briefcase, and headed out to my car. Tara overhears a private meeting and learns that her boyfriend, Nick, has volunteered for a dangerous undercover assignment that has her freaking out. In addition to the multiple cases she has, Tara frets endlessly over Nick......more

4.5 stars. I need more Nick in this book but otherwise it was great! I love Tara, she is a great, sassy character. Her cases were interesting and I love seeing the bad guys get taken down or at least paying what they owe. I will say I’ve never seen someone go through so many pairs of sunglasses- usu......more

Goodreads review by Daisy on October 05, 2017

Having read all the Stephanie Plum series, and loved many of the early one for the comic crime angle, I was looking for a new "fix" with another sassy, witty female antagonist. Tara Holloway, a Texan IRS agent fills the spot. The humor is not as high or screwball in the Tara Holloway series as it is......more
