Washington, D.C. homicide detective Marko Zorn is investigating the murder of an actress--an old love--when he is assigned to protect the visiting prime minister of Montenegro, the beautiful Nina Voychek.

Political enemies are planning her assassination--this, he knows--but now it's apparent that he, too, is a target. As he foils the initial attempts on his life, he pulls out all stops--deploying his sometimes nefarious resources--to hunt whoever is targeting him and prevent an international tragedy on American soil.

Decoded messages, Supermax prisoner interviews, mafia lawyers, and an ancient Black Mountain curse swirl among the icons of D.C. Marko and his young partner, Lucy, face down what may be multiple assassins with diverging agendas. Or are they facing one assassin--the deadliest and most elusive on the international stage?

Perfect for fans of David Baldacci and Daniel Silva
