So far, no one tried to steal the bride’s ring. No one tried to kill the groom. She couldn’t be more wrong. This one is the worst yet.

Chemical attacks are way beyond her pay grade, but her client can’t be reasoned with. Now, Julia had to track the young man who seemed to be way in over his head and find the psycho who is hell bent on wreaking havoc.
