She hides behind a polished business facade as she works for her crime boss and gathers intel for SNAP. Ben Bradley is working undercover for the FBI and gathering intel on his crime boss.   Neither Cybil nor Ben know the others real situation and they both suspect the other of having gone over to the dark side from when they met years before.

I can see the fun in that for the author, but it can be frustrating to the reader. In any case, Warren has me right where she wants me as I will con...
