Desperate people make bad decisions, but Justice and Mercy Givens are about to make one of the worst.<\/p>\n
Co-owners of the Givens Detective Agency, Mercy, a paraplegic genius, and Justice, her gun-toting twin sister, have one rule: no murder cases. But when the bank balance is low, taxes are due, and an oil baron is holding a blank check, they risk everything on a drug-addled debutante\u2019s innocence.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Genevieve Simmons, only daughter of Texas Senator Bob Simmons, swears she didn\u2019t stab her abusive boyfriend. Mercy is sure Genevieve is guilty. Justice is sure Genevieve is innocent. They\u2019re both sure they can\u2019t afford to return the retainer.<\/p>\n
Luckily, a \u201cquick\u201d embezzling case drops into their laps. But what should be a fast fee and freedom turns into another murder, and now the twins are scrambling to stay out of the body count. Mercy\u2019s genius plus Justice\u2019s thirty-eight may not be enough this time\u2026<\/p>\n
