When Kathleen "Kat" Polinski, an undercover agent for the U.S. Government, carries out a routine break-in at the Kazakh embassy, she finds the staff massacred. Hours later Kat learns that her own sister, Suzy, has been murdered in a lonely spot outside of London. What was Suzy doing there? Is there a connection with the embassy killings? Are both related to Project Peace, an impending international security agreement that threatens freedom in the name of stability? All the answers lie in a hidden computer file Suzy called The History Book.
To find the truth - and Suzy's killer - Kat must use every weapon at her disposal and every ally she can find, including her racketeer former boyfriend from O.C.'s south side and a taciturn British operative and his fragile sister. As she hunts, Kat knows she can run but she can't hide from her enemies and government watchers. She must now face them and fight - for her survival and the rest of the world's as well.
