Through the streets of Washington, D.C., and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed.

What starts off as an inquiry about missing bank funds in the Knight account leads to inquiries about a missing man, missing gold, and a life-and-death race across the country. At least Riley Moon thought it was her dream job, until she is given her first assignment: babysitting Emerson Knight.

Her aggressive Texas spitfire attitude has helped her land her dream job as a junior analyst with mega-bank Blane-Grunwald. Good thing he’s also brilliant, rich, and (some people might say) handsome, or he’d probably be homeless. Riley Moon has just graduated from Harvard Business and Harvard Law.

Emerson wants to find black sheep brother G%C3%BCnter Grunwald, who has disappeared, and Riley joins the hunt. Other Grunwald family members hold powerful positions: Hans Grunwald runs the National Security Agency, and Manfred Grunwald is about to be sworn in as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. But after visiting Emerson at his Washington, D.C., mansion, Mysterioso Manor, she winds up driving Emerson to the bank (in his '93 Bentley Turbo R), where he confronts bank head Werner Grunwald. Moon is sent by the bank to placate Emerson, who's demanding to, literally, see his gold. This entertaining series launch from bestseller Evanovich and Sutton, coauthors of 2015's Wicked Charms, introduces Emerson Knight, an eccentric millionaire, and Riley Moon, a junior analyst at mega-bank Blane-Grunwald.
