Synopsis

A nuclear threat looms somewhere within the former Soviet Union. Nuclear weapons materials are being smuggled there from the United States, creating the catastrophic specter of a nuclear-armed rogue republic. Federal prosecutor Adam Stark leads an investigation to discover who is behind the shipments and stop them. But as the investigation falters, hampered by shrouds of secrecy and disappearing witnesses, Adam finds help from an unlikely source - Megan Delaney, a television reporter who is also chasing down rumors of the illegal shipments. She suspects the shadowy Osiris Corporation, a vast but secretive international firm, is somehow involved.
After reluctantly joining forces in an attempt to unlock the secrets surrounding Osiris, Adam and Megan stumble upon an improbable key to the lethal puzzle. They learn of a stolen diary that provides all the answers they are seeking, including the details of the arms deals, the identity of the mastermind, and an astonishing link to the "Crime of the Century" - the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby. But the mysterious and powerful owner of that diary wants it back and will stop at nothing, including murder, to recover it. The investigation turns into a deadly race against time to find the diary before the secrets of THE OSIRIS ALLIANCE are silenced forever.
