An exhilarating military-industrial investigative tale... When a young woman vanishes without a trace, former USAF Special Agent Cleo North is hired to find her. But cold trail after cold trail lead nowhere until Major Jack Donovan-a special agent within the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations and the on-again, off-again man in Cleo's life-joins the case. Soon, Cleo and Jack are trying to determine why a low-level employee had access to top secret Navy contracts and the engineering schematics of a ship carrying deadly cargo. But when the evidence leads them to Malta, they uncover a massive threat with international consequences. Absolutely nothing is as it seems-and time is running out for them to find the key to a terrorist's deeply hidden sins.
