"In the streets, your secrets are only safe until someone moves the mattress."Dominique "Mimi" Banks-known on the blocks as "The Dom"-believes she has constructed the perfect layout to survive the chaotic central valley streets. She runs her hustle tight, keeps her personal business hidden, and stays alive by keeping a loaded 9mm semi-automatic handgun stashed directly beneath her queen-size mattress.But when she and her girlfriend, Jada "Two-Plaits" Ross, leave their four young children home alone to execute a late-night street drop, their fraudulent "grocery-run" alibi completely self-destructs. They return at 3:15 AM to a house filled with absolute terror: Mimi's nine-year-old daughter is lying face-down on the floorboards with a high-velocity gunshot wound to her back.Enter Detective Cynthia Cross.
