29 year old Eve Pemberton, photojournalist for the world's largest international news agency, has begrudgingly returned to her home town of Atlanta, to attend the wedding of her younger step-sister. She longs to return to her flat in Marylebone Road in London and her Scottish boss and lover, Arthur, but an explosion in a downtown skyscraper takes her from a bridesmaid, to photojournalist, to spy. After filming the aftermath of the explosion, Eve is forced to team with a retired CIA agent who has been contracted to investigate reserve gold heists. Back in London, the U.S. FBI Legate is suspicious that something is not quite right at his old office, the FBIs Native American Reservation Major Crimes division. He has received word from one of his long time Blackfeet informants in northern Montana that a lake has been cordoned and traffic has been restricted by federal troops, but that water trucks periodically have been seen entering and leaving over the past few months. Join Eve as she travels to Puerto Rico, the Florida gulf coast, upstate New York, and finally the Blackfeet reservation in Montana, where she attempts to ferret out the correlation between the lake, the stolen gold, and how a western nation has begun to finance its obligations to the Native American race with the help of one of the most prolific philanthropists in the U.S., and the deception that is needed to pull it off. And throughout, learn with Eve of her parents' muddled past and troubling new revelations into the accident that took the lives of her mother and eight year old brother when she was just six. And an old friend, Robert Spalding, returns and begins to soften Eve's cynical heart.
