People say CIA officer Chris Morehouse is insubordinate, difficult and irritable. His boss says he's a liability, and his team doesn't want to work with him. He's crossed all the wrong people. Chris's job is on the line, but he still has one task to complete: find the architect of 9/11-the man known only as "Mukhtar."

But Mukhtar is a ghost; he can't be found. The terrorist mastermind is cunning, and determined to evade his pursuers while furthering his campaign of terror. The CIA needs a source to help find him, an asset who can guide them to Mukhtar. Chris Morehouse has a lead, a potential ally. But can he hold on to his job long enough to capture America's most wanted terrorist-or will he die trying?
