Bait: It's a business trip that takes Maddie Fitzgerald to New Orleans, but it's hardly business as usual when a man breaks into her hotel room and tries to kill her. Barely escaping, the thirty-two-year-old brunette calls the police and finds herself face-to-face with FBI agent Sam McCabe. Apparently, Maddie has been mistaken for another woman—an FBI informant of the same name also staying at the hotel that night. Shaken, she finishes her business and returns home to St. Louis. Days later, Maddie is attacked a second time. McCabe returns and convinces her that the best way to catch the killer is to use her as bait.
