Synopsis

What would make a twenty-year veteran of the CIA finally return home?

Despite unprecedented levels of gun violence, politicians on Capitol Hill have failed to pass gun legislation since 1994. Mac Ambrose’s closest friends recruit her for a domestic operation: bring down the powerful gun lobby by any means necessary so the Senate can pass a new assault weapons ban. In four weeks.

From the hearing rooms of Capitol Hill, to the rolling hills of Kentucky and the wealthy suburbs of New Orleans, Mac flawlessly sets the traps of a multi-pronged strategy to ensnare a lawmaker, a lobbyist and a gun manufacturer. From a safe house in Philadelphia, she rediscovers relationships forsaken in the name of national security.
