Tough Justice 3: Burned

By Carol Ericson

Third in the high-octane FBI thriller series from New York Times–bestselling author.

Taking down the head of the Moretti crime syndicate was Special Agent Lara Grant’s biggest coup, but she paid a heavy price to make the bust. She’ll do anything to keep him—and her secrets—behind bars.

But Lara knows he’s playing the FBI like a maestro even from jail. So when her boss’s daughter is kidnapped, it’s personal . . . and not just for Lara.

With the team at breaking point, it’s up to Lara to keep everyone focused. Until a chilling photo is delivered to her home address. Moretti knows where she lives. And he knows what she’s hiding . . .
