"Lacy Merrick and her team have a new mission; find the man behind a black-market operation who helped fund the thwarted attack in Beijing. However, what the clandestine task force discovers is a more troubling problem. The organization and the man behind it is funding terror by selling stolen US intellectual property to rogue regimes.
When they get too close, the operation funded by government interests in Eastern Europe, implements its so-called Ghost Nation protocol and goes dark. The trail cools until Lacy encounters a potential ally, a cyber hacker known only as Graybear, whose motives remain unclear."
