MEET AGENT REMY FONTAINE. THE LOVE OF HER LIFE WAS GUNNED DOWN IN ORLEANS AVENUE. NOW SHE HUNTS DOWN KILLERS FOR A LIVING.
A smalltown bank robbery. A little girl dead. Two killers on the run.
LeeAnn Nelson and her small daughter stop by their local bank to deposit a check. Minutes later, the little girl is dead — caught in the crossfire as two robbers make their getaway.
It’s Agent Remy Fontaine’s first case as lead investigator. She soon finds a link with a string of robberies in southern Louisiana. In each case, the targets are minor bank branches in remote small towns; only modest amounts of cash are taken.
For Remy to discover who the killers are, she must first work out why they act as they do.
Unfortunately she’s teamed up with Deputy US Marshal Cole Grayson — who doesn’t like being bossed around by a woman. Sparks fly between the two — but they must learn to get along if they are to crack the case.
As the hunters close in on a small coastal town in Terrebonne Parish, the townsfolk gather for the Labor Day festivities. Among them lurks a desperate killer — and Remy is in a race against time to find him before more people die.
