NYPD Detective Rosalind “Ross” Magellan, expert at deceit and manipulation, lives for the adrenaline rush of undercover work , the most dangerous assignment a cop can have.

But Ross is being hunted by a different ghost--a stalker as artfully cunning as herself, watching her every move... a cop stalking a cop...
