Distracted by a murder charge lodged against his daughter Jacki, semi-retired P.I. Winston Simon never expected to again find himself face-to-face with the terrorist Atesh. Now his country’s new ambassador to the United Nations, Atesh is also the mastermind of an ominous threat against the United States—a plot so evil that all previous U.S. terror attacks would pale in comparison. Fearful that he will be recognized and Homeland Security alerted, Atesh devises a plan to put an end to Simon, once and for all.

Simon’s daughter needs him and he isn’t about to be stopped by a little thing like bad guys out to kill him. Even a warning by the District Attorney to stay away from the case goes unheeded as events unfold in Jacki’s case pointing Simon toward an eco-terror group and a protégé of his old nemesis, with a devastating mission of his own.

Can Simon live long enough to clear Jacki and thwart these iniquitous attacks? With failure not an option, Simon is rapidly caught up in a swirling blend of chaos and death from Las Vegas to Seattle to Belize to Alaska and finally back to Las Vegas where a final showdown will ultimately determine who will live and who will die. A forceful blend of terrorists, a beautiful Mossad agent, and Simon make for a very deadly combination.
