The world's largest bounty has just been placed upon America's top spy, Scot Harvath, and his only hope for survival is to outlast his enemies long enough to get to the truth. But in this 19th outing (after Backlash), for Harvath to accomplish his most dangerous mission ever—one that has already claimed the lives of the people closest to him, including his wife—he's going to need help. Harvath finds an unlikely ally in Norwegian intelligence operative Sølvi Kolstad, a smart and deadly spy who has a broken, troubled past to match Harvath's own.
