In the stunning follow-up to FATHER NIGHT, Jack McClure faces a choice: help the woman he loves, or destroy her as the enemy she is. Shortly after McClure leaves a late night meeting with Dennis Paull, the Secretary of Homeland Security, Paull is found - shot dead. The President is furious but equally frightened of a scandal, since Jack McClure is one of their own - an operative and Paull's friend. With top officials in the CIA and FBI after him, McClure, still devastated over his friend's death, goes on the run.
