Description
Set against the sun-soaked backdrop of South Florida, this sharp, suspenseful crime novel follows Jackie Burke, a middle-aged flight attendant arrested for smuggling cash for a dangerous underworld figure. Pressured by federal agents to help bring him down—and aware that neither the law nor her criminal associates can be trusted—Jackie devises an audacious scheme to reclaim her freedom and secure her future. With the help of bail bondsman Max Cherry, she must navigate shifting alliances, double-crosses, and a volatile cast of hustlers and crooked officials. Blending dark humor, crackling dialogue, and intricate plotting, the novel explores survival, deception, moral ambiguity, and the possibility of reinventing oneself.
