She had boarded the aircraft after completing an assassination mission for Israel. Two minutes into flight, the plane was destroyed. Now Reece must decide whether to pursue her killer. He reaches out to allies around the world to begin tracking the perpetrator. The former Navy SEAL does not realize he may be stepping into a carefully orchestrated trap.
