It started with a trap for an assassin. An international assassin. Right here in the good old U.S. of A. Only this time it was worse than it had ever been for Sam. Because this time the lovely Deirdre, the only woman Sam Durell had ever really loved, was on the mission with him.

But catching the assassin was only the key to something much bigger -- an international conspiracy involving billions of dollars and the control of millions of minds. At stake was a network of power that could change history.

Sam knew who was masterminding this incredible plot -- one of the most cunning and dangerous criminals in the world: Dr. Sinn.

Sam had to find him -- and kill him. If he could only stay alive long enough.
