One call from DC to Rome. One dead consular official. One weapon that's been used before. When Special Agent in Charge David Stilley answers a call in Rome, he expects a routine liaison-until he learns a consular official was murdered with the same weapon used to kill an American banker in London. Pulled into a three-nation manhunt from Milan to Dover, Stilley discovers a pattern too clinical to be random: pro hits, identical casings, and a contract that hums with state-level resources. As the roster of victims grows, the hunt points not just at a lone killer but at a global plot with a single, devastating purpose. Stilley must force confessions from ghosts-an ex-SAS assassin, a retired colonel, and a web of cut-outs-while keeping his marriage and his conscience intact. Every lead tightens the noose, but the bigger the prize, the greater the risk: evidence points to a covert program whose removal would topple an administration-and the very agencies sworn to defend democracy. With the clock ticking and an arsenal of friends and enemies closing in, Stilley must decide whether justice is a public reckoning or a private bargain. One wrong move and the truth detonates. Will he pull the pin?
