Smoke and Mirrors — Nicole Edwards

Armed with revelations that could flip their world upside down, the Off the Books Task Force is diving into a case that's as unpredictable as a coin toss. This time, they've assembled a full house, and it's not a poker game. Brantley Walker and Reese Tavoularis are still at the helm, but they're taking a backseat, letting their two newest team members take the wheel. At Brantley's behest, Atticus James and Archer Halligan are stepping up to the plate as team leaders, ready to swing for the fences.With a to-do list that includes interrogating a mob boss and searching a former team member's childhood residence, the task force is chasing leads across the great state of Texas. While new information keeps them moving, relationships are being put through the wringer, while new, unexpected ones are forming. Can the team find more than smoke and mirrors to pin their hopes on, or will they end up in a tangled web of intrigue and unexpected alliances?
