Part of GhostWalker, book 5
First published 2007
Mari accepts what should be a straightforward assignment: protect a politician from an assassin's bullet. The mission derails when she becomes a captive instead of a protector. Mari belongs to the GhostWalkers, soldiers enhanced with psychic abilities, but her mysterious beauty masks deeper secrets. Ken Norton tracks her down on his own mission, one that connects to events Mari thought she had left behind. Ken possesses the skills of a trained killer and the enhanced abilities of a fellow GhostWalker. Mari knows the brutality of combat, yet she must rely on Ken's judgment as their operations intertwine. Each tactical decision Ken makes draws them closer together. Mari faces a choice between the isolation that has kept her alive and the vulnerability that Ken's presence demands.
