Marooned in a Manila jail after a bar fight fatality, black ops soldier Ben Treven is offered a deal by his former commander, Colonel Scott Horton. In exchange for his release, Ben has to find and eliminate Daniel Larison, a rogue operator who has stolen CIA torture tapes to blackmail the U.S. government. But Ben’s not the only agent in play—and succeeding will mean surviving CIA hit teams and Blackwater mercenaries after the same objective. He’ll also have to outmaneuver Paula Lanier, a smart, sexy FBI agent with her own interest in the tapes—and every intention of getting them before Ben does. With the stakes this high, everyone has an angle—except Ben, who must separate allies from enemies if he wants to stay alive.
