Milo Weaver once lived as the CIA's most dangerous tourist, an undercover operative with no fixed address and no permanent identity. Now he works a desk job at the CIA's New York office. He has a wife, a daughter, and a house in Brooklyn. His old life seems buried until events in Sudan drag him back into the shadows. Riots break out across the country. A killer commits suicide under suspicious circumstances. Chinese spies surface in his investigation. An old friend appears to have sold state secrets. The CIA and Homeland Security turn their attention to Milo himself. He becomes the hunted instead of the hunter. His family life crumbles as his past catches up with him. To survive the mounting pressure, Milo must abandon his comfortable domestic existence. He returns to the Tourism department, the shadowy division where he once operated. The choice means leaving behind everything he has built for himself in civilian life.
