The CIAÔÇÖs hunt is on for the mastermind of a wave of terrorist attacks. Roger Ferris is the agencyÔÇÖs man on the ground, moving from place to place, scrambling to stay ahead of ever-shifting events. An eye in the sky ÔÇô a satellite link ÔÇô watches Ferris.

And as Ferris nears the target, he discovers trust can be just as dangerous as it is necessary for survival.
