Publisher's Synopsis
Ray Cunningham is one of the longest running, most successful serial killers on the planet. He also heads the FBI department in charge of hunting down America's Most Wanted.
Among the young agents he's tutoring, will one be clever enough to catch him? And if so, will Ray be excused his bad habits in lieu of his success rate capturing the most lethal criminals? As things heat up for Ray, they heat up for the beleaguered profiling department, as well. Underfunded, understaffed, and facing hi-tech criminals that increasingly have them outclassed and outsmarted, and who respect no national boundaries, they make a desperate play. With the money-no-object tech wiz Ray is tutoring, Nick Young, they form a breakaway agency, SPY, INC., with international reach. SPY, INC. seems more interested, though, in recruiting criminal masterminds than they are in setting the world straight. Whatever their shadowy motives, it quickly becomes clear no one is equipped to go after the criminals SPY, INC. goes after, not even Interpol. It's not long before free thinkers and free spirits worldwide sound the battle cry. Their reaction to SPY, INC.'s overreaching is an agency of their own, aptly named F.R.E.E. SPY, INC. and F.R.E.E. compete with each other for the best agents in this first installment of the series. The hi-tech toys at the disposal of both agencies propel the kind of action that skirts the boundaries of hi-tech thrillers and sci-fi.
