About this book

Christine Palmer, a young American doctor sailing solo across the Atlantic, discovers a man barely alive in the frigid waters. This survivor is David Slaton, a Kidon—a highly trained and precise assassin. Both hunter and hunted, Slaton and Palmer find themselves in grave danger and must race against time to survive. The novel weaves together espionage and intrigue as the two become entangled in circumstances that will alter the course of history.
