Nicole’s boss, Tony Shafer, ensures she’s connected to the most powerful people in the city, including shady Vice President Mark Stevens and the upstanding, powerful senator from North Carolina, Bobby Jenkins.

Her world is turned upside down, however, when she meets her best friend and coworker, Carol Gartner, for an evening at a night club. The night ends in blood-soaked chaos, and Nicole is swept into a plot to capture an internationally infamous assassin known only as The Serpent. MI-6 Agent Sean Adkins knows The Serpent all too well: Sean's entire family was devastated by the ruthless killer 10 years earlier, and it's been his life's work to capture the assassin ever since.

Following him across the ocean, Sean is unable to prevent the assassination of President Andrews, but he’s closer than ever to stopping the killer once and for all.
