Tight Rope

A dead body in the trunk of a car. It's the Kansas City mob's signature.

So why is a member of Ellison's circle found shot to death in a sedan at the country club?

As Ellison is drawn into a dangerous investigation, she can't help but think maybe this time Mother is right. She should mind her own business.
