It was released in the UK in 2000 and was Michael Connely''s third book not to follow the character Harry Bosch. It was also his first (and, as of 2009, only) novel to feature a female protagonist, Cassidy "Cassie" Black, and a protagonist who is a criminal instead of an investigator of criminals.The book opens with a quick scene of Cassie and her boyfriend Max Freeling as they argue about who gets to pull their last heist in Vegas, which Max insists on doing. Then we jump to Cassie, now an ex-con who works at a Porsche dealership, looking at a house with a "For Sale" sign and learning that the owners are moving to Paris with their five-year-old daughter Jodie. Over time, we learn that Jodie is actually Cassie and Max''s daughter, that Max had insisted on doing the last job because Cassie had just told him she was pregnant but then died during it at a casino called the Cleopatra (known as the "Cleo").
