Sheba Shayne is a private investigator from Chicago who returns to her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, after learning that her father’s business is being targeted by violent criminals.
Her father, Andy Shayne, owns a local insurance company, and a powerful crime boss wants to force him out. When threats become attacks, Sheba steps in to investigate who is behind the intimidation.
With help from her father’s business partner and former love interest Brick Williams, Sheba begins uncovering a criminal network tied to a ruthless figure known as Shark Merrill.
As the danger escalates, Sheba faces car bombs, gunmen, corrupt power players, and a deadly showdown on the water. But nobody pushes Sheba’s family around and gets away with it.
