Special Agent Hunter McCallum of the US State Department's Diplomatic Security Service anticipated his three-year assignment in South Africa would be a breeze compared to the chaos of his previous post. He envisioned trips exploring the Western Cape Winelands, savoring fine wines, and thrilling safaris in the Northern Bushveld, where the biggest threat would be a curious lion.

But from the moment his boots hit South African soil, the reality was starkly different. The serene landscapes he'd imagined were quickly overshadowed by a relentless wave of danger—high-stakes diplomatic crises, shadowy figures lurking in the embassy's underbelly, acts of ruthless revenge and a tangled web of espionage that threatened to unravel everything he thought he knew.

This book thrusts you into a world of relentless action, intense heat-of-battle scenes, raw emotions of desire, grief, and tragedy. Inspired by real events and true stories from special agents, it's a visceral experience where danger lurks at every turn. Journey with Special Agent Hunter McCallum as he navigates treacherous terrain, high-stakes espionage, and ruthless retribution.

Fact or fiction? The line blurs in a story that will leave you riveted.
