The first death was ruled an accident. But when a second accountant from
A.D.E.--a popular relief organization that resettles East African
refugees--turns up dead, FBI Special Agent and forensic artist Sydney
Fitzpatrick is called in to lend her expertise in an increasingly
troubling case. Not only is the charity backed by a powerful U.S.
senator, but the investigation reveals that its funds have been siphoned
off to bankroll terrorist cells in black list countries, and Sydney
fears the consequences.
And it may already be too late. Death has crossed the border from Mexico
and is now heading toward Washington, D.C. Time is rapidly running
out--and unless Sydney and her partner, Zachary Griffin, can get to the
root of a monstrous conspiracy, untold thousands will die in a nuclear
nightmare and a nation will be reduced to chaos.
