In 2002, Mark Vincent, onetime senior special agent, ran into John, a troubled little boy, at a local McDonald’s. Concerned, although it wasn’t his business, he gave the kid his business card and left. Three years later, Mark is director of his department at the WBIS and married to Quinton Mann, the former CIA spook who now writes spy novels. They’ve settled into a life of quiet domesticity and are even considering adopting a cat. All this changes when John, now using another name, barrels into Mark’s life with a secret no one expects and on the run from an organization that wants him despite the collateral damage. What will Mark, the man known as “the best” in the intelligence community, do when he learns what this secret is? Will it affect his relationship with Quinn? And how complicated are things going to get when Mark decides to get involved?

“He is,” Ridley started to say, then caught himself.


Joe covered his mouth to contain a giggle and gave me a thumbs-up.


I caught a glimpse of Mark’s face from the corner of my eye. He wore a proud grin and gave a similar thumbs-up, and I bit back my own grin.


“That’s none of your concern,” Ridley snarled. “And you could have informed me sooner that you had the brat.”


“I’m informing you now, aren’t I? We just arrived at LaGuardia and should be in Manhattan in about forty-five minutes.”


“Take the FDR Drive. You’ll get here faster.”


“And bring the brat directly to Dr. Gautier’s office.”


“Sure.” I hung up to find Joe and Howard staring at me. “Is something wrong?”


Joe grinned at me. “You sounded just like Dad.”


“You did, Mr. Mann,” Howard agreed.


“Never mind,” Mark said, although he was trying to contain his grin. “Get in the SUV.”


“Mark.” He hadn’t heard the other side of the conversation. “Ridley wants us to go to Dr. Gautier’s office.”
