Nicholas Colt… World-class guitarist with a crushed hand, private investigator with a revoked license. Currently settling into a nice quiet life of teaching music and spending time with his family. Or so he thinks. Diana Dawkins… Operative with the ultra-clandestine federal agency called The Circle. Smart, beautiful, deadly. She needs Colt’s help, and she’s willing to pay him well for it. The bad guys… Conspirators, traitors, assassins. Well-equipped and organized, they will stop at nothing to get what they want. And what they want will affect the lives of millions. Will Nicholas Colt and Diana Dawkins be able to stop them in time?
