Five candidates for America's most secretive organization have vanished. Scot Harvath gets the call to Washington when the missing prospects start turning up dead. The agency operates in complete shadow, answerable to no one, wielding unlimited power. Now someone has seized control and the country faces destruction. Harvath races across American soil tracking the killers, but each murder draws more public attention to what should remain hidden. The conspiracy reaches back to a clandestine group from the 1700s. America teeters on the edge of total collapse. Harvath must unravel centuries of plotting and stop the most dangerous threat the nation has ever confronted. The line between ally and enemy blurs as he digs deeper into the web of betrayal.
