Milo Weaver's peaceful life crumbles around him. The reluctant spy must abandon his quiet existence and return to his former role as a "tourist" within the CIA's shadowy operations. But his new supervisors know almost nothing about his history or the hidden power structures that control the Department of Tourism from above. They understand even less about the outside world, which has begun to accept the Department's existence as fact rather than fiction. Milo finds himself trapped in a precarious position. He must prove his loyalty to bosses who distrust him while navigating between competing factions of patriots and traitors. Powerful men pursue their own agendas around him. He stands caught between moral right and wrong, with no clear allies. The danger intensifies because Milo has lost everything that once mattered to him, leaving him with nothing left to lose.
