Undercover: Red Alert

The Detective Caro D'Scenzi Series #8

Fresh off a brutal shootout and still on administrative leave, Detective Carlo D’Scenzi is ready to catch his breath—time with Becky, the kids, and maybe even start healing from the scars he’s buried deep. But when a desperate call comes from Red Miller, the unpredictable informant who’s saved Carlo’s life more than once, everything changes.

Red’s son has been kidnapped. The ransom: one million dollars. The kidnapper: Louis “The Shark” Alvarez—a ruthless Miami kingpin with too much money, too many connections, and no fear of consequences.

Carlo knows he should call it in. But Red didn’t reach out to a cop—he called a friend. What starts as a rescue mission turns into a high-stakes hunt for justice, payback, and survival. When the dust settles, lines will be crossed, blood will be spilled, and Carlo will return home carrying more than just memories.

Sometimes the badge stays in the drawer. And sometimes, it’s the only thing that keeps you from drowning.
