WITH A GUN, YOU CAN STEAL HUNDREDS: WITH A LIE, YOU CAN STEAL MILLIONSSpecial Agent Zipporah "Zip" McMathis needs a change. After seven years on the Philadelphia FBI's drug and gang task force targeting mostly inner-city Black and Brown young men, she's ready to do something different. Most importantly, she needs more predictable hours to focus on challenges in her personal life.Plus, there was that very public blowout with her fellow agent, witnessed by the entire task force. She asks to be reassigned to the white-collar crime squad.Zip's first fraud case: a potential arson-for-profit scheme by a wealthy socialite who appears to be funding her extravagant lifestyle by repeatedly torching her estate and collecting the insurance payouts. The most recent fire has raised the stakes; this one claimed the life of the socialite's much younger husband.Zip suspects money and influence thwarted a thorough investigation, and as she digs deeper the case spirals into an investigation of arson and murder. Will she be able to find the evidence she needs for a murder conviction before someone else ends up dead?Retired Special Agent Jerri Williams knows her way around a police procedural; she lived it for 26 years as one of the first 25 Black women agents hired by the FBI. Now retired, she created and hosts a podcast about FBI cases to the delight of true crime aficionados around the world and has made it her mission to ensure correct representation of the FBI in the media.
