An ex-cop goes to the far side of the world to discover her family's
darkest secrets.
Believed complicit in her ex-husband's prison escape, Cleveland police
detective Alex Polonia is methodically being forced out of the
department. Not waiting, she does them one better and resigns, taking on
a new profession as a special agent for an international security firm.
Her first assignment: bodyguard for the family of Nevio Lucchese, a
wealthy Italian industrialist relocating to Ho Chi Minh City.
But Vietnam is where Alex's unknown past casts a dark shadow--and a
mysterious assassin could be hiding in it. Known only as the Ghost, he
kills with drone-like precision and eludes all attempts at capture. Most
disturbingly, he may hold the key to a love that Alex's father lost
fifty years earlier. Now caught in a dangerous and personal game, Alex
must outwit the Ghost to save the Lucchese family and her own family's
reputation.
But when Alex's ex-husband suddenly shows up, she fears that the entire
operation could fail, and that the real enemy is disturbingly close.
