A sharp-eyed criminology student. A murder she was never meant to witness. A city full of people who want her silenced.

When a routine dog walk leads to a violent discovery, Jenna Stack finds herself caught in a web of international intrigue. Can she expose the assassins before they find her? Or will her first case be her last?

Twenty-six-year-old Jenna Stack is having a terrible day. After dumping her cheating boyfriend Liam, she moves in with her best friend Dave and takes a job with his high-end pet-sitting service. But in the glittering world of New York society, nothing is what it appears to be. When Max the bulldog drags Jenna into the middle of a brutal mugging, she becomes an unwitting target in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. With varying degrees of help and interference from a brilliant professor, a handsome client, a hipster hacker, an arrogant cop, and an enigmatic FBI agent, Jenna must sharpen her instincts and face her fears - because the people hunting her don't leave witnesses.
