Marc Royce works for the State Department on special
assignments, most of them rather routine, until two CIA operatives
go missing in Iraq--kidnapped by Taliban forces bent on generating
chaos in the region. Two others also drop out of sight--a
high-placed Iraqi civilian and an American woman providing
humanitarian aid. Are the disappearances linked? Rumors circulate
in a whirl of misinformation.
Marc must unravel the truth in a covert operation requiring utmost
secrecy--from both the Americans and the insurgents. But even more
secret than the undercover operation is the underground dialogue
taking place between sworn enemies. Will the ultimate Reconciler
between ancient enemies, current foes, and fanatical religious
factions be heard?
