LONDON
I was a woman on a mission.
I strode down the New Orleans sidewalk, my boots clicking on the
concrete. The young agent beside me half jogged to keep up.
“Are you sure this is a good idea, Agent Coleman?” FBI agent Amy
Chen pushed some of her straight, black hair off her face. “I mean, we have
no cause. No warrants. He doesn’t have to show us anything if he doesn’t
want to.”
“It’s going to be fine,” I said. “This is just a shot across the bow.”
The mid-size office tower rose above us, all gleaming glass. It was
much taller than the surrounding warehouse buildings of the Warehouse
District in New Orleans. The tower was more pointed at the top, and some
of the glass was tinted red, making it look like a flame. It was called Ignis
Tower, so it was appropriate.
“Agent Coleman, I know that you’re awesome at your job.”
I was very good at my job. One of the youngest Treasury Agents to
close some of the largest financial crimes cases in the country. “I’ve told
you to call me London.”
I liked Amy. She was Chinese-American, with a rapier-sharp mind, and
a tiny, compact body. She regularly took down agents twice her size in the
training gym.
Amy nodded. “London. Our joint task force is lucky to have you. Ever
since we arrested that lawyer who gave us clues to the money laundering
going on here in New Orleans, you’ve been a driving force in our
investigation.”
Yes, when the FBI had arrested a lawyer several months back, she’d
given them intel into a huge money laundering scheme running in the city. I
suspected the money was flowing to the drug cartels, but we still had no
hard evidence. Whoever was behind it, they had to be stopped.
After several weeks of investigation, we had no proof, no arrests, not
much at all. Frustration cut through me.
But one name kept popping up.
Kavner Fury.
A burn seared in my belly. I was sure New Orleans’ favorite billionaire
was dirty. His name, and that of his company, Ignis Inc., kept appearing in
my investigation, but I hadn’t been able to prove anything, yet.
Money was being laundered in New Orleans. My jaw tightened. I was
going to stop it.
“London,” Amy continued. “Kavner Fury is a well-known New Orleans
businessman. He’s well-connected and—”
“In the perfect position to launder money?”
Amy huffed out a breath. “He makes massive donations to the local
community.”
“That could just be a front.” I’d seen it before. The pious family man,
pillar of the community, who behind closed doors broke the law.
“Or he could just be a successful businessman. What is it about him that
sets you off?”
“Experience.” I knew the type—wealthy, handsome, powerful. The kind
of man who thought he could get away with anything. My stomach curdled.
I’d seen it firsthand. I’d watched my father get sucked into the world of
glitz and wealth, and get destroyed. Seduced by the heady promises of a
man like Kavner Fury.
