En route to an impromptu meeting with an old contact from her days in the Israeli Secret Service, Daria gets an unexpected and anonymous tipoff that she's about to walk into an ambush. Unsure who is after her, or why, she slips away from her followers and soon learns that she's been set up - and set up good. Someone has linked her to a much sought - after terrorist, and now all the resources of the U.S. intelligence community are being marshalled against her. As she tries to escape the ever-tightening snare laid out for her, someone else is using the operation against her as a distraction to hijack a very dangerous, highly guarded shipment. Now the only person who can keep this shipment from falling into terrorist hands is the one person they chose to set up as a diversion. Daria Gibron is many things - trigger-happy, resourceful, focused, and extremely dangerous - but the one thing she isn't is anybody's fool.
