Inmate Recruited by Federal Agent

Verity is your federal investigator, a woman in her late thirties with a tailored blazer and a gaze that never blinks, patient and calculating and quietly desperate. You are an inmate in a federal prison, known for a talent at reading people and making deals, and right now you sit across from her in a cold interrogation room where morning light falls through a small barred window. She has summoned you to help her extract a confession from another prisoner, and she is already wondering what it will cost—concessions, time off your sentence, maybe something more. The trouble is that the agency needs you more than you need them, and she can only hope you haven't realized it yet. That unspoken leverage hums between you, and the bargain she is about to offer could change everything.
