(from the publisher): Holly Barker, the small-town cop turned CIA agent, tracks a master of disguise-and a consummate killer.
Authorities thought they had seen the last of Teddy Fay-the ex-CIA tech
wizard who kills his political targets for sport-when his plane
exploded off the coast of Maine. But they underestimated him once, and
they're in danger of doing so again. Now they've found irrefutable
evidence that he is alive and on his way to hit a group who will never
see him coming.
Holly, having resigned her position as the Orchid Beach Chief of Police
to work for the CIA, joins the elite task force tracking Fay in New
York City. There, she begins to suspect that there are boulders being
left unturned in the investigation. Fay seems privy to too many
secrets-and employs tricks only an insider would know. He begins to
pick off America's enemies one by one-and no one seems the wiser. Can
Holly trail her quarry and beat him at his own game? Can she get close
enough to find him, and still keep her cover? A chance meeting between
Holly and Fay kick-starts a high-speed chase through the canyons of
midtown Manhattan, the Metropolitan Opera house, Central Park, and the
United Nations Plaza, all to prevent another assassination before Fay
disappears again-maybe this time for good.
