Dylan Maguire is back and in his first assignment with the CIA: to interrogate recently captured Brenda Carnegie. When she escapes again, it's obvious she's had help from within the CIA itself. With Vicki Boyd's help, she's back in his custody again. Now he must find out why some in the highest levels of government want her killed-and others will risk everything to help her. And when he discovers her true identity, his mission has just become very personal.
