Ex-CIA agent Alex Stone never met a situation she couldn't handle so when the Magnum Corporation called with a job offer, she couldn't refuse. Her assignment: enter post-war Iraq with a highly trained team, obtain a list of informants and get them to safety in exchange for information on the country's foremost threat: Colonel Bashara. Add a mole within Magnum's ranks, torture at the hands of a madman, the handsome Oliver Christianson and high speed car chases and nothing goes according to plan. Alex must use her wits and strength to survive what the Colonel has planned for her-and for his country.
