GBI Agent Will Trent is working undercover in the guise of ex-con Bill Black, on his way to Atlanta to meet with his PO when he stops at a gas station to get an Icee.  But the self-serve machine is running somewhat slow.  He's still there when a robbery takes place and he's got to balance maintaining his cover while stopping the thieves without having a gun, bringing all sorts of unwanted attention to himself with the action involved.His boss, Amanda, and partner, Faith are on hand to help unravel a much larger story directly related to the robbery.  It's amazing how much action and convoluted twists this short story packs.  At one point all of the characters being talked about while putting together the big picture feels somewhat overwhelming until more facts are learned.  But through that we also get a feel for how difficult it is for the agents to solve the crime.  Everything takes place in one day.Maw Maw is a character you won't soon forget - in a good way.The Bill Black guise is used in the next novel, Unseen, which I was lucky enough to read early as an ARC.  You won't be hampered in reading Unseen without reading this story first, but the combination of content, length of the story and the price make this a good purchase.Fans of the author/series might find this helps with their "fix" to read the next installment while waiting for Unseen's July release.  Those new to the series won't have a problem  reading this without reading any of the other books.
