Detective Liv DeMarco has spent the last three months working undercover at Spark, an exclusive club catering to the rich and famous. Between the backroom poker games and illegal car races, it's only a matter of time before she collects enough evidence to shut down the club and put the owner behind bars. But time's up. When two exotic imports are stolen from a parking garage and a valet is killed, Liv's convinced the crimes connect to Spark. After all, Axel Kincaid, the club owner, has a penchant for collecting high-end sports cars and a juvie record a mile long. His forte - stealing cars. His temperament - violent.

Determined to learn the truth, Liv doubles down on her cover identity, but the stakes couldn't be higher. With a million dollar score and a growing body count, the killer has everything he needs to disappear, and he's proven he'll eliminate anyone who gets in his way.

Moments after the man confesses to committing murder, he plummets to his death, leaving several unanswered questions behind. Why did he kill that woman? What drove him to throw himself off a building? And why was he so afraid that suicide seemed like his only option? To find the answers, Liv will have to start at the beginning. But identifying the suicide victim proves more complicated than she would have thought. His papers and identification are forgeries. And the woman he killed, it turns out, she doesn't exist, at least not on paper. As if that wasn't bad enough, the bodies go missing from the morgue. Someone much higher up the food chain is pulling strings to make this case unsolvable, but Liv and her partner are determined to get to the truth. This case may make or break Liv's career, but that's assuming she survives the unforeseen danger.
