Summary:

When Presidential Candidate, Senator Jack Malloy, is lured to a secret tryst and murdered, the gossip inside the Washington Beltway is that the assassin is someone inside the Government, probably an agent of the CIA. Fifteen years ago Malloy gained notoriety by holding Congressional hearings on the CIA and passing legislation that reined in the agency’s freewheeling style. Because of his Committee’s revelations a number of promising careers were left in ruins. When Malloy was murdered he was planning a new round of hearings and investigations, hoping to ride the attending publicity into the White House. Grant Loewen, the recently retired Director of CIA Middle East Operations, is recruited by Bill Brewster, the Director of Clandestine operations, to contact his old CIA colleagues and see if he can get any sense of who might have killed the Senator. Brewster believes someone whose career was ruined fifteen years earlier may have used the currently planned hearings as a cover to kill Malloy. Grant Loewen’s sympathies lie with whoever killed the senator. Several of Grant’s CIA friends were murdered when Malloy’s committee released their names to the press. Reluctantly he agrees to look up the people he knew fifteen years ago. Brewster is known to be a master schemer and Grant is unsure what Brewster’s motivations for recruiting him are, but he fears not going along might place him under suspicion. And Grant has another reason. By coincidence, he was nearby the night Malloy was killed. If that comes to light, he wants to be able to manage it himself. Soon Grant finds himself entwined in a tangle of intrigue whose roots go back to the original hearings Rather than identifying Malloy’s killer, he becomes involved in a search for the real person behind the deaths of his former friends and colleagues.
