Whos going to notice the little old woman in the corner? Besides, Ethel might be officially retired, but she knows everyone in DC law enforcement--and is smarter than all of them combined. n nWhen a former colleague asks Ethel for help, she agrees without a second thought. But the favor throws Ethel back eighteen years, to the botched sting operation that resulted in the murder of an innocent young woman by a Russian gangster--and nearly ended Ethels own life too. n nSoon, Ethel and her young tech-whizz sidekick Jesse, her double-first-cousin-twice-removed, find themselves in the crosshairs of some very bad--and very desperate--men wholl do anything to get their hands on the state secrets theyre seeking. Ethel will have to use all the skills shes learned during her long career if shes to save the day, and keep both herself and her beloved cousin alive.n
