Mia Jang’s murder in the spring of 2008 didn’t stand out as any less senseless than the other 522 homicides in New York City that year—not to the police who investigated the crime and not to the three people who witnessed it. But the tragic irony was that she had fallen victim to a botched robbery attempt, after only recently surviving being held hostage by international terrorists. Elke Braumann—an undercover German BND intelligence officer—had been crucial in rescuing Mia and her friends from those terrorists, bringing to a successful end her first mission, after nearly eight years under cover. With its completion, Elke had returned to her life at the BND and the new challenges it offered, completely unaware of Mia’s untimely demise. It isn’t until three years later, when Mia’s name starts popping up in analyses of intercepted communications from the Chinese Government, that Elke starts to question Mia’s fate, as well as her involvement in things she would have been better off leaving alone. In pursuit of the truth, Elke will have to reconnect with ghosts from her past as she tries to unravel international conspiracies connecting the unlikeliest of allies, from the Chinese Government and the CIA to her very own BND.
