The first disturbing report reaches Presidential Agent Charley Castillo as he sits down for Christmas Day dinner. The caller on the Virginia safe house's secure line confirms that an investigative reporter working for Castillo's European newspapers--and snooping after German and Russian thieves involved in the Iraqi Oil-for-Food scandal--has been brutally murdered in Marburg.

Next comes the call from the director to National Intelligence, who asks whether Castillo knows anything about the Kuhls--an Austrian couple serving as Central Inteligence Agency deep-cover assets since World War II-- who have just been found dead in a Vienna park, strangled by stainless-steel garrotes. 

And within hours Castillo learns of two assassination attempts that occurred on Christmas Eve: against U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Jack Britton and his wife in Philadelphia, and against Gendarmeria Nacional Comandante Liam Duffy and his wife and children in Buenos Aires. All narrowly escaped automatic-weapons fire from assailants unknown--unknown except for the fact that the hits were professional.

As Castillo shares the news with his group of trouble-shooters in the innocuously named Office of Organizational Analysis--a menacing mix of military and former CIA, FBI, Secret Service, and other agents--two conclusions are immediately reched.

One: These are no coincidences-this is payback. Two: Delta Force Lieutenant Colonel C.G. Castillo is likely they next target.

Operating the OOA under a Top Secret Prsidential Finding and reporting only to the President of the United States, Castillo has made more than a few enemies, both foreign and domestic. Confiscating some sixty million illicit dollars and leaving a trail of dead bad guys top the list of reasons why.

Still, it's the question  of "Who?" that has everyone watching his back.

South American durg lords angry that Castillo's helicopters destroyed their manufacturing plant durig his clandestine rescue of a DEA agent?

Muslim extremists wanting revenge for Castillo's finding and stealing back the explosives-filled 727 aircraft that the terrorists were going to crash into the Liberty Bell?

Ex-members of AVH and ex-Stasi--former Hungarian and East German secret police--ruthless professionals infamous for their use of garrotes?

As Castillo and his operatives try to connect the dots, two Russian SVR rezidents turn his world upside down. They want to defect--but to Castillo, not to the CIA, which already is bragging that it bagged the pair. And being top-level foreign intelligence service officers, they bear him great gifts... including what they claim is Russian intel about who's making weapons of mass destruction and where.

There's more than one big surprise in all this for Presidential Agent C.G. Castillo...if he can stay alive.
