Angus Green

If newly minted FBI Special Agent Angus Green ever wants to make it to his second case, he first has to survive his first.Fresh out of Quantico with a master’s degree in accounting and dreams of adventure, Angus is assigned to the Miami field office—home to smugglers, drug runners, organized gangs, and every flavor of South Florida crime. But instead of diving into danger, he’s stuck behind a desk, crunching numbers with a badge and a gun.When his kid brother needs money for a study-abroad program, Angus enters a strip-trivia contest at a Fort Lauderdale gay bar. But getting caught half-naked by two fellow agents seems like career suicide…until it unexpectedly becomes his break. As the office’s only openly gay agent, Angus is tapped to track down a missing informant—an undocumented busboy known for being “gay for pay.”What begins as a simple missing-person check explodes into a deadly case, dragging Angus from the glitter of South Beach to the chill of the morgue. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers a sprawling criminal network with its hands in everything: medical-billing scams, pill mills, armed robbery, and a multimillion-dollar jewelry heist in the making.Every clue raises the stakes. Every lead turns dangerous. And every twist teaches Angus the same brutal lesson:the only way to get through this case is to believe he’ll survive it—because it’s always the next one that will kill you.
