Publisher's Synopsis
A suspenseful tale drawn from today's headlines. In the midst of the coronavirus epidemic, Marina, a young college-student/ fitness trainer, accepts an invitation from her foreign exchange student pen pal to spend an all-expenses-paid vacation at a seaside resort town in Romania. Her good fortune changes rapidly when the two friends are separated on the final night. Marina has no time to search for Sophia before boarding her plane home to Philadelphia. Already disappointed at leaving without saying goodbye to her friend, she makes a frightening discovery on the plane. Once home, Marina enlists an unlikely duo to assist her in a search for her friend: Carl, a glib coffee shop regular recently released from prison who hopes to exchange his prison experience and street smarts for a career as the only black private investigator in Philly, and Doug Frister, a principled FBI agent who follows the rule book. Soon, Marina realizes her life is in danger as an international assassin pursues her and conflicting U.S. law enforcement agents collide in Philadelphia resulting in fatal results at one of the city's iconic landmarks and ultimately at the residence of the man who occupies the White House.
