"Non-stop explosive gun-battles, car chases, double-crossing thugs, and a full cast of dispensable characters carry the plot of this emotion-packed story to an unexpected surprise ending."
- Richard Blake
A CIA operation to acquire a Russian nerve agent Citex from a long-forgotten Soviet research complex backfires when somebody beats the CIA at their own game.
While celebrating his assignment to a safe desk job, FBI agent Kirk Ingram's wife and daughter are murdered before his eyes. Despite grievious injuries, Ingram survives and finds salvation in waging a vendetta against organised crime. Following a tip-off concerning a human trafficking ring in Los Angeles, Ingram leads a disasterous federal raid on a warehouse owned by Gunther Trade.
Diving to recover historic artefacts from a shipwreck, marine archaeologist Edward Gunner is attacked and his yacht sunk. Within hours, his daughter, Amanda, is running for her life. Only a fortitious encounter with Ingram saves her.
As Ingram goes head-to-head with businessman Lars Gunther, clues from the Gunner case reveal Gunther Trade is the common denominator in the FBI and LAPD investigations... and might even answer the questions facing every intelligence agency: Who has Citex? What are the targets?
