I checked my gun to make sure I had a full clip, chambered a round, and ran downstairs. When I put a gun in this guy's face and maybe knocked out a tooth or two, he would sure as hell tell me where Jackie was.

But he was gone when I got down there, no trace of his presence left behind. Just as if I had imagined the whole thing. I stood on the street with a gun in my hand, and looked around in all directions. She was lost, the people who took her from me were lost, and I was more lost than any of them.

Special Agent Gavin Holder is a man with secrets – among them his relationship with Jackie Cole, widow of a dead FBI informant. What the FBI doesn't know about Gavin Holder could put him in prison, but what Holder doesn't know about Jackie Cole could put him in the grave.

As Holder desperately tries to keep his past a secret, the consequences of his involvement with Jackie become more and more deadly. Holder is slowly drawn into a vast conspiracy, directed by a sinister fanatic known only as Father – the leader of the terrorist cult Ultima Thule.

Gavin Holder may not be a very good FBI agent – but he may also be the only man alive who can stop the cult. Sometimes the “bad guy” saves the day.
