Jill Rucker, an undercover CIA agent, is assigned to work with him--and she does--when she's not pursuing her own conflicting goals. The search takes them to England, Russia, Panama, and Switzerland.

Close behind is Zabluda, a Kremlin assassin, who means to kill them and their sources and destroy evidence incriminating the president. Max discovers that he has been betrayed by his former boss, his current employer, and his girlfriend. Seeking revenge, he takes on a powerful Washington law firm, the CIA, and the Russians. Max Geller is the spy who went out in the cold--and no one wants him to come in and tell what he knows. Perfect for fans of Daniel Silva and Nelson DeMille
