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? |
