As head of the Asset Forfeiture Unit in the New York County District Attorney's office, Susan Given squeezes crime kingpins where it hurts most: in their bank accounts. A single mom with an Upper East Side address, she's more than a match for the city's most wanted. But the job takes its toll, and lately Susan has lost her edge. Recurring nightmares, missed appointments...she's a woman on the verge, and seriously in need of a vacation. Good-bye East River...hello West Indies. Yet even in the Caribbean, Susan's motto -- "crime never sleeps" -- is proven once again as she witnesses a murder and earns first place on a drug lord's hit list. Things couldn't get any crazier. Not, that is, until she returns to New York -- and to the D.A.'s office.
