Frankie bleeds for justice. But to prove her case, and show the ranks she's ready to lead, she'll have to battle unexpected foes both inside and outside the Bureau. For her rogue ways have left her alone and a man with a fanatical obsession has set his sights on her, and nothing will stop him from getting what he wants.

Will she be able to dissuade his passion before she becomes his final project?
