Synopsis
Laurel "Blue" Humboldt, a DEA Special Agent, escorts a Federal Witness Protection witness in a prison van when the witness is murdered in broad daylight in downtonw Manhattan. The assassin misses Blue, but memorizes her face.
Blue recovers from the disaster, and starts to track the international drug cartel and its tentacles from a small town in Connecticut to San Diego, California. In San Diego, as she unravels the web of corruption that links church officials and a failed corporate CEO with Colombian drug lords, she stumbles back into the messy tangle of her own love life.
Blue has been hurt by one cheating ex and several brutish boyfriends. Besides being a cop, she is also a musician, and over the years she has fled into the arms of more than one female artist. The last was the successful but neurotic Manhattan painter we only meet as Maggie. Pursuing her case gives Blue an out to leave Maggie, but locks her squarely in a ravishing triangle in San Diego.
Blue has a habit of locking all her emotions in separate boxes and hiding the keys. Now the boxes are open, and she is torn by the choice of loving either beautiful Chinese-American detective Martha Yee or handsome millionaire importer John Connor. Problem is—there's no time to dally. The cartel's deadly assassin is closing in on her and the one she truly loves. At the same time, a long-ago razor-murderer from the Marseilles drug trade surfaces, adding yet another layer of suspense to a complex tango of love and danger.
