COLE IS BACK; AND DANGEROUS! It was initially intended to be a simple investigation. Austin was to look into the apparent accidental death of a young CIA intern. The investigation quickly turns treacherous. Austin Cole is forced to return to Langley, Virginia, and face a painful past from which he'd been running for years. His return and subsequent investigation breeds an atmosphere of suspicion and contempt but ultimately exposes several surprisingly deadly discoveries, any one of which could bring the entire security wing of the United States to its knees. A dangerous trail of deception, mistrust, and hidden agendas, combined with a series of covert Intelligence Agency operations, all carried out on U.S. soil against U.S. citizens, leads Austin directly to Langley and the CIA, the last place he wanted to be. When two of his closest friends become the latest targets of a mysterious enemy, Austin faces a technology he can't understand, few friends to count on and what seems like an entire army intent on killing him. Plunged into a desperate race against time, and an enigmatic adversary who is killing anyone associated with a three year old OP, Austin discovers his actions to save his friends may very well leave him with few options, even fewer allies, and his country's security at its most vulnerable. THERE WILL BE AFTERMATH
