This novel was written in 1998. The background to this novel is that the CIA chief, Helen Dexter takes the law into her own hands and orders the murder of political figures in other countries on the basis of their anti-American views.Dexter discovers however that if her actions become public then she will be ruined. She endeavours to eliminate her chief assassin called Connor Fitzgerald.

However Connor is arrested and put in jail in Russia to face execution.
Connor does a deal with the Russian Mafia and escapes but his price is to assassinate the Russian President. However he fakes his death and fails in the attempt at the assassination. He gets back home to the US and the plot just continues to unfold from there.
