The Mob. But a new mob, with leaders that Rivka hadn’t run across before. Decentralized control. Like rats in a station’s bilge, they reared their ugly heads both near and far. Rivka needs to uncoil the tendrils and rip off the heads of the hydra. while others hunt the underlings to take down the top and middle layers, leaving the drug trade in a shambles. That’s the plan, anyway. Who is stepping up to help? A blast from the past, someone Rivka isn’t sure she trusts. They’re not partners and they aren’t friends, but they have to slip into the dark alleys to find a way to the top of the mob. Rivka goes undercover in the latest case that is certain to drive Red into an apoplectic fit. Magistrate Rivka Anoa is the legal eagle you want on your side. No better friend. No worse enemy.
