Things go to hell when the crazed, homicidal Elkins clan hits town with their own bloody agenda. POTUS is taken hostage. Demands are made “or the executions will begin.”
Back in Washington, CIA field agent Sara Durell, satisfied in knowing her friend, Jack Cody, has at long last left government service, healed from the personal tragedies that earned him the nickname Suicide Cody. But Sara’s world goes suddenly intense when once again she and Cody—this time separated by thousands of miles—must risk their lives to combat a brutal home front crisis.
