Anna is now a rear admiral much to her horror. She had finally become comfortable being the Eastar NIA Station Chief. She had been successful in the position, made good friends, and found bad guys to chase and puzzles to solve.But that success had catapulted her into the position of Director of the NIA stations–all thirteen–and far out of her comfort zone. Ironically, Anna finds herself bored–admirals don't do work, they give it to someone to do. And she has a master chief as a secretary, a lieutenant aide-de-camp, and thirteen commanders and their staff to do the work. But she suspects not all of her commanders support their new, very young admiral, or are doing their jobs, or are competent. But has no way to resolve the feeling as those commanders are on twelve distant systems, giving them a great deal of autonomy.A personal request from Admiral Webb to look into a friend's missing daughter solves the bored problem and provides an excuse to visit her NIA stations. The subsequent investigation uncovers a criminal organization which has been kidnapping women across the UAS for the past six years. The kidnapped women meet a very specific profile which isn't obvious. Anna manages to unravel the mystery only to find stopping the organization and freeing any of the kidnapped women will take years, during which time more women will be kidnapped and fewer women will survive to be saved.Unless… Anna is willing to abuse the laws that safeguard the innocent and protect the criminals and to irritate very influential people the criminals' activities support. Actions that would open Anna to prosecution and jail and to attempts to retire her early and permanently.
