When enemies foreign and domestic conspire.
Officially, Dimase Augustin doesn't work for the FBI. As an off-the-books freelance contractor, he operates in the shadows — which is exactly where the President needs him.
His mission is to uncover and expose American powerbrokers compromised by Chinese intelligence operatives. With a pivotal Senate vote on the military defense of Taiwan days away, two key senators from opposing parties are being blackmailed — their votes, and possibly the fate of Taiwan, hang in the balance. The tentacles of corruption reach so deep into the DC establishment that Dimase can't be sure who, if anyone, is clean.
At the center of it all are fifty-four USB drives containing compromising material on a carefully selected group of bipartisan political players. Someone made them. Someone is using them. And when the drives go missing, the trail leads somewhere Dimase never expected — a connection buried inside the White House itself.
The closer Dimase gets to the truth, the more dangerous each step becomes. But he can't stop. Not when the President's survival—and the sovereignty of the United States—now rests on his shoulders.
The enemy within is the most terrifying.
