When secrets are being sold to the Russians, and the prize is control of American oil fields, Gresham knows he's up against corruption on a global scale. Pitted against a Russian businessman and a group of U.S. attorneys he suspects are in the Kremlin's pocket, the savvy lawyer creates a shadow law firm to trap the document sellers.

But the stakes are raised when the FBI delivers chilling news: the Russians have put a contract on Gresham's head, and a lethal assassin named Nadia Karamov is closing in.

Trained by the KGB/FSB to be a deadly manhunter, Karamov is a formidable adversary.
As the assassin draws near, Gresham must work quickly to uncover the spies within the Gray law firm before it's too late. In a pulse-pounding race against time, he'll need all his wits and resources to stay one step ahead of his enemies and protect America's interests.
