Vaughn Elliott is a member of
the State Department’s Diplomatic Security
Force. Someone high up in the United States
government has pulled rank, hand-selecting
her to oversee security for a visit by
congressional VIPs to the West African
nation of Mali. The question is, who picked
her for the job and why?
Sage McNally, a career diplomat, is the
political officer at the U.S. Embassy in
Mali. As control officer for the
congressional visit, she is tasked to brief
Vaughn regarding the political climate in
the region.
The two women are instantly attracted to
each other and share a wild night of
passion. The next morning, Sage disappears
while running, leaving behind signs of a
scuffle. Why was Sage taken and by whom?
Where is she being held?
Vaughn’s attempts to get answers are
thwarted at every turn. Even Sage does not
know why she’s been targeted.
Independently, Sage and Vaughn struggle to
make sense of the seemingly senseless. By
the time each of them figures it out, it
could be too late for Sage.
As the clock ticks inexorably toward the
congressional visit, the stakes get even
higher, and Vaughn is faced with unspeakable
choices. Her decisions will make the
difference between life and death. Will she
choose duty or her own code of honor? |
