Agency trouble-shooter Paul Richter is delegated to investigate the source of the mystery killer, but uncovers far more questions than answers. Why has the CIA directed total destruction of the aircraft's remnants? Why is a hit team roaming the island? Who is now picking off members of the hit team itself? And why are retired agents getting professionally eliminated?
As Richter gets ever closer to unravelling a decades-old secret, even he is unprepared for the sheer horror of the truth about to be disclosed.
James Barrington, a trained military pilot, has worked in the secretive world about which he writes. His first Paul Richter thriller was Overkill, and this is his second.
