Derrick Storm thought he had escaped the CIA for good. He staged his own death to get out, settling into early retirement far from Washington's dangerous games. Then his former boss contacts him with a request Storm cannot refuse. A senator's son has been kidnapped, and the agency needs Storm back in the field to handle the investigation. Storm knows this case runs deeper than a simple ransom demand. He partners uneasily with April Showers, an FBI investigator whose beauty matches her skills. Together they navigate a maze of confusing ransom messages while untangling the victim's complex personal connections and international political ties. Storm will solve the kidnapping, but larger threats are gathering on the horizon.
