From the"New York Times "bestselling author of "Twelve Days" and"The Counterfeit Agent "comes an electrifying tale featuring ex-CIA agent John Wells.
In late 2009, CIA officers in Afghanistan s Kabul station allowed a Jordanian doctor into their closest confidence. In truth, the doctor was an al-Qaeda double agent and when he blew himself up, the station s most senior officers died with him.
Years later, the station still hasn t recovered. Recruiting has dried up and the agency s best Afghani sources are being eliminated. At Langley, the CIA s chiefs begin to suspect the worst: somehow, the Taliban has infiltrated the station.
When they ask John Wells to investigate, he reluctantly agrees to return to the country where his career began. One thing is certain: Americans are dying, and an American is responsible. Wells is the only one who can unearth the truth if it doesn t bury him first . . .
