When Canadian Morgan Winfeld gets assigned to work with Ireland's Jake Rory, they spend a few days in Nova Scotia getting to know each other and putting the boots to an assassin. It's not long before they head to Alberta to dig around the embers of a fire that destroyed much more than people's property, and to be involved in a fight for their lives. Being a covert operative is demanding, dangerous work, and Morgan doesn't know how to exist without it. On a trip to Wales, Morgan gets some unexpected assistance from a cousin who helps her to better use her keen intuition. The techniques help but cannot stop things from taking a horrible turn during a mission in Sommerside, England. Morgan is in her forties, and she could easily be a retired spy who writes stories about her wild past and drinks Scotch, except she likes the work and there's always another job to do. Despite experiencing big losses and the difficulties in being a spy in this time of technology and restricted border crossings, Morgan just can't quit. Can she?

Morgan heads to New York, teaming up with the FBI and New York City police to fight cyber crime. Her efforts get hampered when a new drug hits the New York streets, and it's one of the deadliest ever encountered. Morgan's got no time to dwell on past losses and hurts as she throws herself into the job at hand, although she does take the opportunity to test out the local food scene in search of her favorite pastrami sandwich. With New Year's Eve approaching and the increasing threat of chaos, Morgan's team grows to include Rob Platt, a former marine now a New York City police sergeant who balances life with a prosthetic leg. Platt knows the city well, and has no problems getting down to work. He also makes Morgan's stomach do that flip flop thing. Morgan's not a movie styled, lycra wearing, high heeled spy. She's tough, and can handle herself in a fire fight. She leverages her psychic hearing power to track down the bad guys whether she's in New York, or back in England dealing with an infiltration at the agency. But is her ability to hear things going to be her undoing? "A page turner - again " "A heroine to root for ""I couldn't put it down ""Exceptionally well-written."

The reality of harsh changes to her job are delivered to Morgan in a series of hurried meetings and phone calls. Morgan needs to enlist the help of her pal Skelter at the FBI, and she'd like to have Rob Platt along, but when this mid-aged Canadian spy agency director ever get the things she really wants? On an emergency stop enroute to New York, Morgan meets a remarkable canine soldier named Max. While they get to know each other, Morgan grants herself the chance to dream about a quieter life, but things continue to unravel. Her biggest challenge is yet to come, and it remains to be seen if Rob, Max, and Morgan can find anything like a happy ending to round it all out with.Morgan's not a movie spy, as you would have seen in her first two engaging novellas, Border Pieces and Border Shock. She knows how to handle herself in a fight, and she can leverage her psychic hearing power to track down the bad guys whether she's in England, Canada, or the US. Morgan's approach? Sometimes you have to shoot first and ask questions later.
