And now she's been forced to terminate a smooth, cunning, and dangerous spy: her own lover.Bannerman realizes that Carla's extreme actions will ultimately have serious global repercussions. But he doesn't know how serious until an urgent call from Zurich blasts him out of retirement and plunges him into a roiling maelstrom of conspiracy and murder. For there is a terrible new cancer growing in the corrupted heart of an old enemy -- a virulent, rapidly spreading disease that Paul Bannerman has sworn to battle...to the death.
