Over the next 3 months, Ravenport's underworld was turned upside down.
As Erin Vail, I planned the Frost family's moves from behind the scenes.
The bullet I fired had kept Victor in bed for 2 months.
The Atwell family was badly weakened, and the Frost family seized the chance to launch three more targeted strikes.
Each strike landed just as Victor was starting to catch his breath again, as if someone were timing him with a stopwatch.
I pinned a map to the wall of my office and used red pushpins to mark every key point.
Every time I removed one, I drew an X beside it.
6 months passed. There were fewer and fewer red pins left on the map, and more and more X marks.
"Erin, you're incredible. I mean it."
Benjamin stood behind me and gently placed a bouquet of lilies on the desk.
