Taylor signs on... only to find that as she delves deeper and deeper into what goes on behind closed doors at Hubbard, White & Willis, she uncovers more than she wants to know - including secrets damaging enough to smash careers and dangerous enough to kill for.
But who is capable of going to that extreme? With her life on the line, Taylor is about to learn the lethal answer...
