In a routine raid on a backroom poker game, a Detective is shot. The old Sergeant in charge of the raid was Kingís Training Officer and the wife of the critically wounded cop was Dannyís girlfriend. Things get remarkably more challenging for King when all the witnesses at the game dummy up. In this coke-fueled, high rolling, no-limit underworld, the MCTF team must figure out who is covering for whom and why. King has another gambling problem closer to home ñ a loan sharkís debt book shows Danny is still laying bets.

Detective Sergeant Pete Rivers (Jess' ex-husband) is on the verge of wrapping up a major investigation into drug dealing and gun smuggling when heís carjacked - losing not just his vehicle but also his police issue laptop. The computer contains sensitive intelligence, including the real identity of an Undercover Officer who has managed to infiltrate the ruthless drug dealerís crew. King's assignment? Find the laptop before it falls into the wrong hands, make sure the illegal guns never end up on the streets, and figure out whether her ex-husband's character flaws (the same ones that ended their marriage) have put the project - and the Undercover Officer - in danger.
