A senior American security adviser is missing, presumed kidnapped for his top-level military intelligence. FBI Assistant Director Martha Meyerstein needs to track him down before classified information gets into the wrong hands. She needs Jon Reznick on board. The former black-ops assassin is supposed to be on vacation with his daughter, but when Meyerstein calls, it doesn`t pay to keep her waiting. Her elite team is convinced that the missing diplomat`s expertise in the Persian Gulf points to an Iranian terrorist cell, but Reznick isn`t so sure. His gut instinct tells him they`re all wrong. Never one to play by the rules, he finds himself working alone, following a lead that everyone else has dismissed. But to Reznick, the suspect seems a little too clean... When the team comes under attack, the kidnapping is exposed as part of a much wider conspiracy, one far more dangerous than Meyerstein feared. Nothing and nobody is safe--and only Jon Reznick stands between national security and a campaign of unprecedented terror.
