In a city of millions, where crime is everywhere, a girl from the provinces has it rough. But Alice Carter is not the kind to retreat from a set goal—even if to do so she must break the law. After her brother mysteriously disappears, she goes to Muns to find him and ends up in trouble herself. Fate brings her together with a police captain, Michael Knox—with a man who holds law and an officer’s honor sacred. But despite the girl’s fears, he becomes the only person who can truly help her. All facts, events, and characters in the book are fictional. The story takes place in invented cities of an imaginary state.
