"As commander of the nation's most elite FBI
counterterrorism 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 that his blood-thirsty
enemies aren't willing to do.
