Spying just got more complicated.After her first mission ends in a spectacular disaster, Loveday and team leader Royal are so frustrated with each other they're barely speaking. She finds herself reassigned to a mundane hotel job outside the Ivory Tower. And if that wasn't punishment enough, Royal adds a new man to the team-Starling, an attractive, highly-trained operative whose skills might just make Loveday obsolete. When classified government software is stolen by a dangerous hacker, Loveday and Starling must work together to stop the program from falling into the wrong hands. But in the world of intrigue, nothing is as it seems-and not all ghosts of her past stay dead.
