Three years ago, Sam and Toshio had found their lives linked by a devastating tragedy that left Sam a widower with a daughter to raise. Now, capturing Toshio's killer becomes his personal crusade.As Sam digs into his friend's personal and professional lives, he soon uncovers a complicated web of motives and a frightening cast of suspects, all international delegates seemingly involved in secret conspiracies but protected by diplomatic immunity. With his career on the line, Sam starts losing allies — his boss, the Secretary General, even his girlfriend, a lawyer for the US delegation. Others are eager to help—a French reporter, an accountant for Internal Oversight—but Sam can't tell if they're friend or foe.In the power-hungry world of the UN where decisions are made behind closed doors, Sam's investigation has far-reaching consequences, including the fate of Japan's election to a permanent seat on the Security Council. And the stakes turn deadly when his daughter is framed for Toshio's murder. In a matter of hours, she'll be handed over by UN Security to the NYPD. The clock is winding down on Sam's investigation. He must figure out a way to free his daughter and capture the killer — or justice will be corrupted and he'll lose the one precious thing left in his life.
