Bright, young, and ambitious, Quinn Barry desperately
wants to be an FBI agent, even as she programs databases
in the basement of the J. Edgar Hoover building. But
Quinn's career—and her life—are about to change wildly.
Testing a new program, Quinn's computer savvy turns up a
mysterious DNA link among five gruesome murders. A link
that the old FBI system had been carefully programmed to
miss. A link that nearly costs Quinn her job, and soon,
her life.
Pitted against a conspiracy of unimaginable proportions,
Quinn is determined to uncover what someone very powerful
wants to keep hidden—dark, dirty secrets involving high
levels of government. She turns for help to her boyfriend,
an ambitious young CIA agent, only to flee to protect
herself and, she hopes, him. Finally an ally emerges from
the most unlikely place of all, and with his help Quinn
will at last turn the tables on her shadowy assailants—and
land herself in the clutches of a sadistic, brilliant
madman who holds the key to it all.
