PROLOGUE Head investigator, Brent Sherwood found a very distraught young woman at the crime scene. She was hiding in the walk-in closet behind the hanging wardrobes of the dead man. Her eyes were wary and scared. He asked for her name. "Nikola", she whispered in thick Italian accent. Her voice was full of anguish and despair . "Are you the dead man's daughter?" Brent asked the young woman whose exotic beauty was covered with sweat, tears and great fear. She shook her head and mumbled, "Wife". There's a pang of regret that stuck in his throat. In that moment of disbelief, he immediately erased that first impression to console a bereaved woman. Whoever believes in love at first? Such foolishness should be deleted off his mind. His feelings must not cloud his judgement. He must act in accordance to his job even if it's his first time to admire a woman after 3 years in solitude. Did she kill her husband? That's the question he must unravel before focusing on his own personal motive.

Life has never been the same for Hector Kane since he was ousted from the CIA two years ago. His marriage to the intelligent and beautiful Yubi is unraveling after the death of their only son. His teaching job at an elite university in the Middle East has failed to fulfill him as he had hoped. His heart and mind are still caught up in his adventurous past as a spy. So, when the CIA offers him a chance to return, he accepts without hesitation. This could be his only opportunity to salvage his marriage and live the life he always dreamed of. His mission seems deceptively simple: take his wife and five of his students to a romantic island in the South China Sea. More details will be revealed in Asia. However, once in Asia, things become increasingly bizarre. Hector starts to question the nature of his mission when the CIA instructs him to infect one of his students with a deadly virus. As if that isn't enough, Hector soon receives a call from a Saudi prince claiming that Yubi is a spy for the Chinese government-and that she has seduced and kidnapped the prince's son. Unable to confide in the CIA, Hector is forced to act alone. He must reevaluate his relationship with his wife and rethink everything he believed about his marriage, his mission, and himself.
