Sam Hudson has spent years tracking Konstantin, a Russian assassin who has killed targets across the West. When Sam's Geneva meeting with a promising source turns into an ambush that leaves his partner dead, his CIA superiors order him to abandon the case. Sam refuses to let the killer escape again. A mysterious phone call at the Lincoln Memorial precedes a bombing, confirming Sam's worst fears: Konstantin has reached American soil and is hunting him personally. Partnering with CIA officer Emily Pierce, Sam discovers a conspiracy that stretches back to the Cold War's end, its components scattered among Washington's most recognizable landmarks. With enemies inside the Agency and Konstantin closing in on those Sam cares about, he must use every skill he possesses to prevent a catastrophic attack that could cripple the United States. The hunt becomes personal as Sam fights to protect his city and prove himself worthy of the trust he has lost.
