Description
What do you do when everything you trust might be a lie? Vivian Miller is a dedicated CIA counterintelligence analyst tasked with uncovering the leaders of Russian sleeper cells in the United States. On track for a much-needed promotion, she's developed a system for identifying Russian agents—seemingly normal people living in plain sight. After accessing the computer of a potential Russian operative, Vivian stumbles upon a secret dossier of deep-cover agents within America's borders. A few clicks later, everything that matters to her—her job, her husband, even her four children—is threatened. Vivian has vowed to defend her country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. But now, she's facing impossible choices. Torn between loyalty and betrayal, allegiance and treason, love and suspicion, who can she trust?
