Sharing a past of war in the Middle East and the fallout of a failed mission, Paul Chardy, a former CIA covert warrior and Ulu Beg, a Kurdish freedom fighter, meet again in the midst of conspiracy of lies and violence. When key members of the Beltway elite start dropping dead, the CIA knows that only Beg can be responsible and that only Chardy can stop him. As this taut thriller races towards a searing conclusion, both men realize that nothing is what it seems to be, and that somewhere, someone wants them both dead.
