When a child is kidnapped by his unstable mother, the father turns to
Joe Tiplady--offering him a lot of money to find the boy and bring him
back. It soon becomes clear that Joe will have to earn every cent:
mother and son are in war-torn Syria, and they've willingly joined the
ranks of ISIS.
Meanwhile Zeke Chandler, CIA deputy director, is in Albania, where four
electrocuted bodies have been found on a mountainside near a secret
black-ops facility. Two seemingly unrelated incidents, but Joe will find
himself crossing paths with Zeke again.
From the Hollywood underworld to bombed-out Aleppo, via a controversial
US election and a global refugee crisis, Joe's hunt for the missing boy
will send him to the darkest, most dangerous places in the modern world.
And his search may force him to confront the unfinished business in his
own murky past--that is, if he survives.
