A trusted intelligence officer has vanished from the British Embassy in Washington, DC.

​

Chapman Hughes has disappeared, and Bureau 7 is sent to find out why. Lawrence Lander and Rivka Levine arrive in Washington expecting a difficult investigation. What they uncover is something far more dangerous.

​

As the search for Hughes develops, the distinction between friend and enemy becomes increasingly difficult to make. A duplicitous FBI officer is involved, loyalties are uncertain, and Lander and Rivka find themselves drawn into a conspiracy with consequences reaching far beyond one missing man.

​

With time running out, they must discover who can be trusted and stop a plot that threatens lives on a devastating scale.​​
