With barely enough time to recover from helping out Miles in London, Nico is off to Australia ... and a secret mission involving a US covert operative ...

When an American undercover operative's sister goes missing in Australia, Nico has to find out if this is connected to the operative or to the sister's own activist background. Apparently she made enemies easily.

Charlotte hadn't wanted to make this trip in the first place, preferring to communicate her polarizing messages through writing her books now. But, bowing under pressure, she finally arrives in Australia, only to be attacked within minutes of reaching her hotel room for the night. After her rescue, she's forced to dig deep into her family and public life to find the mastermind kidnapper and to stay safe as the bodies pile up.

Nothing makes sense in this twisted mission, but Nico is determined to keep Charlotte safe, even as things take a more personal turn ...
