Ten years ago, former special agent Cleo North ignored her gut instinct - and a young sergeant wound up brutally murdered.
Finally she is in a position to find out what went wrong. Cleo is certain the official story - a murder-suicide - is a lie. Her new assignment with Major Jack Donovan and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations finally gives her access to the one man she's sure is involved in the decade-old murder.
But as Cleo is plunged into a tangle of violence and lies, she must quickly decide who the real victims are. And who's covering up a first deadly mistake.
Former special agent Cleo North thought she had sworn off bureaucracy forever ; but the Air Force Office of Special Investigation has other ideas.
They need her expertise and are willing to pay her extravagant fee. The case? An off-duty US fighter pilot recently took a bullet under suspicious circumstances and wound up dead. It doesn't take long before Cleo and Major Jack Donovan ; along with some help from British Intelligence ; discover the pilot was involved in some questionable activities. But why was he so interested in a US Army Corps C-47 that went down in the English Channel in 1943?
When another murder links a far-fetched story of wartime international intrigue to millions of dollars in gold, only one question remains: who is behind the ultimate cover-up? And could Cleo be the next bullet's victim?
