Captain John Hayes has traded military service for family life when former teammates start dying in what look like accidents. A fatal fall on the California coast. A home invasion in Brittany. Hayes recognizes the pattern behind these carefully staged murders. Someone is systematically hunting members of his elite kill team, the military's most classified unit that blends special operations with CIA methods. Hayes returns to active duty to protect his surviving colleagues. Claire Sutherland, a lethal assassin from his unit, becomes a suspect and disappears. The killers grow more aggressive, planning a massive Independence Day strike in Manhattan to lure the remaining team members into the open. Hayes races to stop the conspiracy before thousands of civilians pay the price. Politics and betrayal complicate every move as enemies hide within the government itself.
