As commander of the nation's most elite FBI counterterroism
unit, agent Max Bhagat leads by hard-driving example:
pushing himself to the limit and beyond, taking no excuses,
and putting absolutely nothing ahead of his work. That
includes his deep feelings for Gina Vitagliano, the woman
who won his admiration and his heart with her courage under
fire. But when the shocking news reaches him that Gina has
been killed in a terrorist bombing, nothing can keep Max
from making a full investigation -- and retribution -- his
top priority.
At the scene of the attack, however, Max gets an even
bigger shock. Gina is still very much alive—but facing a
fate even worse than death. Along with Molly Anderson, a
fellow overseas relief worker, Gina has fallen into the
hands of a killer who is bent on using both women to bait a
deadly trap. His quarry? Grady Morant, a.k.a “Jones,” a
notorious ex-Special Forces operative turned smuggler who
made some very deadly enemies in the jungles of Southeast
Asia . . . and has been running ever since. But with
Molly’s life on the line, Jones is willing to forfeit his
own to save the woman he loves.
Together with Max's top agent Jules Cassidy as their only
backup, the unlikely allies plunge into a global hot zone
of violence and corruption to make a deal with the devil.
Not even Jones knows which ghosts from his past want him
dead. But there's one thing he's sure of--there's very
little his bloodthirsty enemies aren't willing to do.
