When bestselling children's author Elena Voss publishes a picture book about grief after her husband's mysterious death, the world weeps with her. But DEA agent Marcus Cole — a man haunted by his own wife's fentanyl overdose — notices the cracks in her story. As he digs deeper, he uncovers a web of forged insurance policies, weapon-grade carfentanil shipments, and a trail of bodies stretching from a quiet Utah suburb to the Mexican border. With a million angry bees descending on a Tennessee highway and a powder deadlier than anything the DEA has ever seen flooding the streets, Marcus must race against time to prove Elena is the most dangerous kind of killer: the one everyone trusts.
