An explosive portrait of Dirty South revenge, triple-dealing, and crimes of passion as a suburban momâs
high-end criminal past comes back to haunt her, endangering her childrenâand propelling her into a
high-stakes game she remembers all too well . . .
Gone without a trace . . .
Once the most cunning luxury car thief in the game, Ava Frost gladly gave it all up to become the wife of
a successful Norfolk, Virginia, businessman, and raise their two children in better circumstances than she
ever knew. But when the children are abductedâand held for a two-million-dollar ransomâAva is stunned to
discover her husband's bad deals have drained their fortune. Determined, she pursues her best, and toughest,
option: she asks her ex-boyfriend, the mastermind behind the South's biggest car theft ring, for the money. But
nothing ever comes for free, and Nick has a small request . . .
Racing against the clock . . .
Soon Ava is targeting one-of-a-kind cars that must be stolen within impossibly short timeframes. The excitement

her husbandâs betrayal runs deeper and more lethal than she ever expected . . .
Running out of time . . .
Now with one heist gone very wrong and the police closing in, Avaâs down to her final chance to keep her
bargain with Nick. But with hidden agendas and secret obsessions in play, will even her most skilled moves
succeed in bringing her children homeâor destroy everything she's fighting to save?
