James Clayton, one of the smartest graduates in the country, is just the person Walter Burke wants in the Agency.

But just when James starts to question his role and his cat-and-mouse relationship with his mentor, Burke taps him to root out a mole. As the suspense builds in a maze of gripping twists and turns, there are only two things James can count on--he can't trust anyone and nothing is as it seems.
