SummaryA brand-new page-turning Holly Barker novel from the
perennially entertaining New York Times-bestselling
author Stuart Woods.
After Special Agent Holly Barker lets international
terrorist Teddy Fay slip through her fingers for a second
time, the CIA thinks she might want a long vacation, at
least until Teddy is captured and the bad publicity has
blown over. So Holly returns to her hometown of Orchid
Beach, Florida, where she had been police chief for many
years. But a very unpleasant surprise awaits her. Many years
earlier, Holly and another female army officer had brought
charges against their commanding officer for sexual
harassment, attempted rape, and rape. Holly had managed to
fight him off, but the other woman, a young lieutenant, had
not. The officer in question was acquitted of all charges,
and has also left the army—for a job as Orchid Beach's
new police chief.
Will Holly return to the CIA? Or will she challenge her old
nemesis for control of the Orchid Beach Police Department?
