What happens when the woman your family throws away turns out to be the most dangerous asset in the room? What if the man who was supposed to destroy you is the first one to ever truly see you?

Bernie Wulff was a head cook, a bookkeeper, and the stepdaughter Patricia Wulff had spent seventeen years treating like furniture. When Patricia's two-million-dollar debt to a crime syndicate came due, she didn't wire the funds. She sent Bernie instead — the one daughter she figured nobody would miss. What Patricia didn't calculate was this: the man waiting in that parking garage didn't need a hostage. He needed someone who could find what Patricia had buried. And Bernie had been reading numbers her whole life.

• Bernie walks into a cold parking garage knowing exactly what her stepmother did — and why she was chosen
• Albrecht Konn gives her a desk, access to Patricia's financial records, and the first real meal she's eaten without guilt in years
• In forty-eight hours, Bernie uncovers a three-point-eight-million-dollar escape plan — and hands Patricia her own ruin
