      Nick Fox a Kate O’Hareová jsou jako oheň a střelný prach. On je víceméně napravený zločinec, ona agentka FBI. A jakkoli nepravděpodobně to zní, společně tvoří dokonalý tým. Tentokrát je jejich cílem Carter Grove, majitel impozantní sbírky kradeného umění. Grove je ale zároveň ředitelem největší bezpečnostní agentury na světě, a tedy rovnocenný soupeř. Divoká štvanice zavede Kate a Nicka do Skotska, Šanghaje, Montrealu a Washingtonu a nesourodá dvojice bude muset předvést svůj zatím nejtroufalejší kousek, aby Cartera poslala za mříže.

      There's a saying in Barstow, California, a decaying city in the scorching Mojave desert... The Interstate here only goes in one direction: Away. But it's the only place where ex-LAPD detective Beth McDade, after a staggering fall from grace, could get another badge--and a shot at redemption. Over a century ago, and just a few miles further into the bleak landscape, a desperate stranger ended up in Calico, a struggling mining town, also hoping for a second chance. His fate, all those years ago, is linked to Beth's when she's assigned two very different cases: investigating an old skeleton dug up in a shallow, sandy grave, and identifying a vagrant run over by a distracted motorhome driver during a lightning storm. Every disturbing clue she finds, every shocking discovery she makes, force Beth to confront not just her own troubled past, but also one that's not her own...until it all smashes together in a revelation that could change the world.
