It’s 2005, New Orleans, pre-Katrina, and Jed Walker has just started at the CIA. He’s sent on a mission by Harold Richter, CIA field operations legend and trainer of agents provocateur. The task is a one-way ticket—survive and succeed at all costs—and Walker is an off-the-grid, solo, deniable asset.

Burned by his former agency, he is determined to clear his name. Stopping Zodiac is the only way.

Revenge is the obvious motive—but nothing is ever that simple in love and war. Can Walker find who’s responsible before the body count grows? Can he stop another terror attack before more innocents suffer?
