The new Baldacci reintroduces the main characters from Split Second and Hour Game

Sean King and Michelle Maxwell both bear the scars of their previous case. Michelle s in a psychiatric hospital after making a suicide attempt while Sean, down on his luck and desperately worried about his friend, accepts a PI job at Babbage Town - a hugely secret establishment where, it seems, corpses turn up more quickly than new codes can be encrypted by the genius mathematicians who are employed in the place . . .

With both the FBI and CIA making their presence felt in Babbage Town, Sean begins to wonder what really goes on there, while Michelle's psychiatrist determines the key to her deep depression lies in events suppressed during her childhood. Michelle uncovers something truly disturbing happening in the hospital pharmacy . . . But there is a place even more sinister close by, Camp Peary, where it is said CIA death squads train . . .


David Buchanan aplica sucias presiones para financiar causas tan honrosas como la cooperación internacional o la protección medioambiental. Robert Thornhill, un alto cargo de la CIA, descubre el juego y empieza a chantajear a Buchanan. También él lucha por lo que considera una causa justa: devolver a la CIA el prestigio que tuvo en otro tiempo. La situación se ha vuelto insostenible desde que el FBI controla cada una de sus acciones. Una tercera persona implicada opina que el asunto ha ido demasiado lejos. Faith Lockhart, mano derecha de Buchanan, se niega a que prosperen los sueños megalómanos de Thornhill y ha decidido confesarlo todo al FBI. A partir de ese momento su vida tiene un precio.

But when a private investigator walks into the middle of the assassination attempt, the shooting suddenly goes wrong, and an FBI agent is killed. Now Faith Lockhart must flee for her life - with her story, her deadly secret, and an unknown man she's forced to trust...
