FBI agent Bill Alastor waited until the brass pings of shell casings hitting the kitchen floor had stopped. Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping! The sound of glass shards following told him that whoever was attacking him and his protectee who lay beneath him under the table had escaped. The ringing in his ears eventually dissipated, and he could detect the angry mutterings from the voice beneath him: "Damn! Damn! Damn!"
Bill had to agree, actually. "I should never have allowed the bureau to take away her gun."
FBI agent Bill Alastor is a man whose identity and pride are built on his ability to solve impossible problems. But when the woman he loves, former fighter pilot Anna Simone, becomes the sole witness against a powerful crime boss, he faces a challenge no badge can solve. With Anna's life at stake, and the McKagan crime family closing in, Bill understands the assignment: Any chance she has at a new life requires the spectacular end to her old one. An ending that would leave no doubt in the minds of assassins around the world whose job it is to silence her forever. To pull it off, he recruits a team of lost souls-a hacker on the run, a disgraced pilot, and a teacher whose life was shattered by false accusations-each seeking their own second chance. But this plan releases unanticipated evil.
Bill realizes that saving Anna has resulted in the brutal murders of many others - entire families on vacation. Caught with their guard down. Found with their throats slit. Can he stop the killer before the police catch him alive? Does he have it within himself to be the murderer who silences the murderer forever?
