Sam has walked away from Third Echelon and is in Malta, chasing the man he believes killed his daughter. Then his old colleague Anna Grímsdóttir gets in touch with a warning and an offer of help, and his private search turns into something that reaches back to Washington. Vic Coste, Sam's friend from his SEAL days, tells the story, and faster Mark and Execute takedowns replace much of the old slow stealth.
