Jersey Barnes keeps trying to leave home without a weapon. She'd love to get an eye-stopping tan and sip frozen banana drinks. She wants to retire. But when her judge friend asks Jersey for a favor, the security specialist readily agrees. The judge's brother, an introvert from Dallas, Texas, has moved to Jersey's stomping ground because he inherited a restaurant. But Argos isn't just any eatery--it's the hippest place in town where Wilmington's elite dine. It's also the site of a mysterious and dangerous secret that could land the judge's brother in jail...or worse, a cemetery.
