When the head of Operation Quickline, the ultra-secret organization that Lisa Wycherly and Sid Hackbirn work for, sets up a sting at the resort belonging to Lisa’s parents, Lisa and Sid are fit to be tied. But telling Dale O’Connor no is not possible.
Summer hire Dusty Simpson is the target, and Sid and Lisa reluctantly take on surveilling him while working the same jobs they had as teens. Sid’s working the restaurant at Wycherly’s Family Resort. Lisa is head of housekeeping. Even their son Nick is hired to bus tables.
But then an old nemesis shows up, and the sting becomes nothing like what Sid and Lisa thought. The nemesis is killed and it looks like a trap was set for Dusty. Not to mention that a computer disk with critical data has disappeared.
With her academic career in a questionable state, Nick awash in adolescent angst, and her father getting too close to her secret double life, Lisa can’t help pondering her life choices.
