Alexander King is taking a break, spending time with Natalie, and finally living life like a civilian. The problem for him is that the bad guys never take a day off. An enemy from King's past has been watching him, and his family. Everything they are doing is to throw this special operator off his game. And it's working.

After a covert mission became personal, the only way elite counterterrorism operative, Alexander King, could keep his loved ones safe, and the eyes of Washington's enemies blind to his existence, was to disappear. A year after his family buried a body they thought was his, King saves a young woman from a car bomb in London, and that's when his work in the shadows becomes complicated. Because she's not who he thinks she is, and the web that King is pulled into is tangled with enemies that reach the highest levels of the United States government.

On the run in a country without allies, things only become more difficult when they step right in the middle of a drug war to control Haiti as a pipeline for cocaine to America.
