Paul Moses spent years as a CIA operative, traveling the globe to eliminate targets on orders from Washington. His talent for killing made him valuable, but retirement offered him a chance to escape the blood on his hands. Moses thought he could leave his deadly past behind and live quietly. A new administration changes everything. The fresh faces in the White House decide Moses carries too many secrets. They know what he did in foreign hotspots. They know how he operated. They decide he represents a threat that must be eliminated. The agency that once sent Moses to kill now wants him dead. His former employers become his hunters. Moses must use every skill they taught him to survive their assassination attempts. The retired operative finds himself forced back into the deadly world he tried to abandon. This time, he fights not for his country or his superiors, but for his own survival against the very people who created him.
