FBI Agent Atlee Pine's twin sister, Mercy, was abducted at six and never seen again. Pine continues to search for this sister throughout the Atlee Pine series.

After finding out that her sister’s kidnapper was Ito Vincenzo, she and her assistant Carol Blum race to Vincenzo's last known location in Trenton, New Jersey, where they find that they are in the middle of John Puller's case, disrupting his arrest during a drug ring investigation involving a military installation.

Pine and Puller begin a joint investigation and find a connection between Vincenzo's family and both cases with global implications for conspiracy.

The story, book 3 in the series, was not the best one in this series and did disappoint. 2 Stars
