Publisher's Synopsis
A secretive Russian rump group is working toward full restoration of Communism with concurrent full nuclear launch to eliminate potential threats. A high-ranking Russian civilian provides information to the CIA, including the fact that any indication of U.S. awareness WILL provoke instant launch. Meanwhile in the U.S., crypto chips unique to the National Security Agency are found where they have no business being. Pressured to explain, NSA assigns Ellen Drew to perform an internal investigation and work with the FBI task force. She is a brilliant and experienced ex-LAPD Homicide investigator who quickly becomes enmeshed in a web of politics, duplicity, and treason.
