Description

Kay Hamilton has been quietly recruited by the Callahan Group, a quasi-governmental agency charged with accomplishing special missions - off the grid. But before Kay's completed her training, she's sent to a hostile province in Afghanistan, where a mission turns unexpectedly and explosively violent. Barely escaping with her life, Kay follows a trail of deception and murder. Finding herself at the centre of an international plot, she begins to question those she loves, those she works for and her own faith in justice.
