After a career of fighting crime, six words still have the power to strike fear in the heart of a retired cop: "The sleep-over is at your house." One the jumprope queen of Cincinnati, Rocky Zacharias is now an ex-convict with kids of her own. And she's disappeared, leaving a cryptic call for help. With Rocky's kids in the path of a killer, Cat and retired juvenile officer Moses Fogg scour the projects and inner-city neighborhoods for Rocky, but the clue to her troubles may be locked up behind the razor wire of the Women's Correctional Institution. So Cat goes inside to learn the truth, hoping to find Rocky before someone puts her six feet under--and before Cat and Moses send Rocky's kids into a permanent Time Out.
