But his carefully constructed world crumbles when he's implicated in the death of a prominent Washington, D.C. figure. Suddenly, Whelan is a fugitive, hunted by the very system he swore to protect. Hes caught in a web of conspiracy, where powerful forces are manipulating him as a pawn in a much larger, and far more dangerous, game. From the perilous border of India, where a devastating weapon threatens to destabilize the world order, to the racially charged streets of Washington, D.C., Whelan must race against time to clear his name and prevent unimaginable destruction.
