About the book
Rob Stone is known as the President's right-hand man, dedicating himself to ensuring the safety of the world's most powerful leader.
Assigned to investigate a highly classified assassination program, Stone encounters rogue CIA operatives and a cold-blooded killer with orders to eliminate him.
Meanwhile, Isobel Bartlett makes a startling discovery at a US bio-research facility backed by military and covert agencies. Uncovering a scheme to unleash a newly engineered virus and sell the cure to pharmaceutical giants, Bartlett realizes that stealing the antidote and wiping out the data is the only way to prevent a global outbreak.
As she races to New York for help from a former college friend now with the FBI, Bartlett finds herself pursued by unknown adversaries.
But what ties these events together?
Stone and Bartlett become embroiled in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, striving to uncover the truth while being chased by an unrelenting hitman. It's only when they venture into the remote forests of Vermont that Stone, a former special forces operative, turns the tables on their pursuer.
