Stone Barrington receives an urgent summons from President Kate Lee that brings him straight to Washington. The crisis she faces demands more than conventional diplomatic solutions or standard legal channels. Barrington knows exactly who can handle this delicate situation: Teddy Fay, a former CIA operative whose unconventional methods have made him legendary in intelligence circles. Fay operates outside normal boundaries, using his mastery of disguise and his willingness to bend rules when pursuing his personal vision of justice. As the first adventure in this new series, the novel establishes Fay as a character who solves problems that others cannot touch through official means. The collaboration between Barrington and Fay creates a partnership that bridges the worlds of high-level politics and covert operations, where success requires both connections and the courage to act decisively.
