The email arrived, a digital dagger. David, the "investment banker," had forwarded a "critical" document with a typo in the header. Amelia's gaze narrowed. She'd accidentally learned his 'office' was a cramped basement, and his 'clients' were all friends. The document was a fake.

She hit send, then sat back, listening to the soft click of the mouse. The smile didn't reach her eyes.
