A deadly threat has slipped beyond the control of one of the world’s most secretive regimes.

When North Korea warns Western intelligence agencies that one of its most lethal operatives has disappeared in Europe, alarm spreads quickly through the intelligence community. Myong Chang, a highly trained assassin with a history of ruthless efficiency, has vanished along with two fellow agents. Within days, intelligence leaders across Europe begin falling to a precise and relentless killer. As the bodies mount, the pattern becomes undeniable. A coordinated campaign is underway, and no one knows who is truly behind it. When the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service is assassinated on North American soil, the CIA realizes the danger has crossed the Atlantic. For veteran intelligence officer Dave McClure, the mission suddenly becomes personal when someone he deeply cares about is critically wounded in the attacks. Driven by determination and a need for justice, McClure sets out to track down the rogue assassin before more lives are lost. But the killings are only the beginning. A chilling report from Israel’s Mossad reveals that Hezbollah is preparing a devastating attack in the heartland of the United States. As the clock ticks down, McClure must navigate a deadly web of espionage, deception, and global terror to uncover the truth behind the assassin’s mission. Stopping one killer may be the only way to prevent a catastrophe.
