Synopsis

Ross McKenrick's espionage thriller, set around the Presidio of Monterey, California during the first Gulf War, vividly reveals old cold war rivalries that never died. Four years after "glasnost" and "perestrokia" changed the foundations of the former Soviet Union, U.S. intelligence agencies began chanting the mantra, "the threat has changed," but did it? Police detective Keith McGuire's life is disrupted as suddenly as the gunshot that critically wounds his brother Howard in a fog shrouded parking lot. Keith knows little about Howard's work with the Defense Investigative Service or his former employment with the CIA. As Keith investigates the shooting, he discovers unexpected facets of his brother's life--contact with a drug dealer, unexplained affluence, falsified security clearance reports, and resentment over being fired from the CIA. To catch the person, who shot Howard and learn the truth about his brother's activities, Keith must violate department policy and risk his career.
