First published 2015
A revolutionary weapon has fallen into terrorist hands, and the US Ambassador to Greece makes the ultimate sacrifice trying to recover it. The ambassador participates in a deadly ruse that costs him his life, but the dangerous technology remains missing. Covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath arrives in Athens with orders to eliminate the terror cell before they can sell the device to Iran. Time runs short as Harvath tracks his targets through the ancient city. A betrayal within American ranks complicates his mission, forcing him into direct confrontation with a traitorous enemy. As evening falls over the Aegean Sea, Harvath faces his most dangerous adversary yet in a battle that will determine the safety of America and her allies. This lightning-fast thriller puts Harvath against overwhelming odds in a foreign land where trust becomes a luxury he cannot afford.
