From the Civil War to the present

In a post-9/11 world, everyone is on edge, especially those who protect the president of the United States. Despite meticulous security measures, a deadly terrorist attack occurs in front of the White House, leaving the nation in shock and seven high-ranking diplomats dead. While Americans demand justice, Terry Steele, a highly decorated special operative, receives his marching orders from the president to leave for Saudi Arabia to eradicate the alleged assassins. He has no idea that he and his children will soon lose their lives at the hands of Al-Qaeda. But from tragedy arises his wife, Jennifer, who rejoins the CIA and emerges as the most lethal special operative to have ever donned a dress. Fueled by a desire for revenge, Jennifer and her team continue the fight against terrorists determined to release a weapon of mass destruction. In this political thriller, a stunning CIA operative must outthink the enemy and come up with a solution-even though she always seems to be a step behind.
