description: FBI Agent Jack Davis is in trouble. Big trouble. He’s investigating a series of murders, but his debilitating medical condition is making life very difficult indeed. His daughter is at risk. There’s treachery in high places, and critical information is being leaked. He thinks he knows who to trust, but does he? It’s a dark tale of betrayal, murder and cold revenge as Jack and his colleagues track an unlikely killer… or two?
