From Booklist
It is supposed to be happy times for Laura Caldwell and her husband, James Carter, in their Hawaiian paradise after they defeated corrupt Philadelphia politicians and the Mob. But her uncle Akhan has called the family back to Philadelphia. The trouble begins when someone shoots at Laura's cousin and gets worse as they travel east and have the Mob trailing their every move. No one is sure who is out to get them; they only know it involves Akhan's sons in Jamaica. Akhan severed ties many years ago, but his Jamaican brethren want land he owns for casinos on the Gulf coast. And so a battle ignites involving the Jamaicans, the mob, and corrupt politicians. Banks concludes her Trust series (Shattered Trust, 2006) with a bang, giving her fans a tension-filled, sensuous thriller and a dynamic and savvy African American heroine who is as tough as she is stylish.

At last, they're ready to enjoy an idyllic retreat in Maui. But enemies of the past seem to have an endless appetite for revenge. This time it's Laura's Uncle Akhan whose life is being threatened--and Laura is in the line of fire as well.
