Raskin knew about this history, but knew nothing more about a Swiss connection.

Now Raskin is determined to uncover his friend's past. He enlists the assistance of Fritz Kohl and Alex Fletcher, two former CIA analysts who were briefly acquaintances of Herrsch. The trio follows a trail that leads them to Switzerland-and to dumbfounding revelations about Bonney Herrsch's extraordinary life.
