In the daytime, Gaby takes shorthand. At night, she takes lives. She's a bad, bad girl, according to the woman who was not her mother-a woman more than happy to offer the child to several male visitors until Gaby stabbed one of them to death. Then she wound up on the streets of Baltimore, where Tony taught her how to survive and even thrive. Now she's being threatened by some very bad men. They think she knows where to find Qudrah, the Pakistani woman whom she and Tony helped to escape from an arranged marriage.
But he's the only person who knows where Gaby has been living since the two of them were forced to go into hiding. It's time to confront her betrayer. Tony is enjoying a life of luxury, supported by the unpaid labor of Qudrah and other recent immigrants who fell for his promises of a better life in America. When bad girls have their backs to the wall, look out. Gaby knows all the dirty tricks and won't hesitate to use them, starting with freeing the slaves and then stopping the man who betrayed her.
