Escrow

On the edge of losing her business, her custody battle, and her peace of mind, Carrie walks into what should be a simple listing appointment. Instead, she finds a dead body, a briefcase filled with diamonds, and a carry-on packed with $500,000. In a moment of desperation, she takes the money never imagining it belongs to Hector Ochoa’s cartel or that it sits at the center of a covert DEA mission.

Her discovery sparks a deadly pursuit. A cartel hunting her. A government operative watching in silence. A kidnapping that drags her into a kill house where screams are the only certainty. She survives only through a mysterious intervention. When she returns home shaken, she finds a quiet answer to her desperate prayers: the missing suitcase of cash waiting in her trunk. With her tormentors gone and her fortunes suddenly shifting, Carrie finally sees a path to reclaim her daughters and rebuild the life she was losing.
