520    Alec de Payns is an undercover operative in the ultra-
       elusive French Y Division of the DGSE, a foreign 
       intelligence service equivalent to the CIA or MI6. Code 
       named Aguilar, de Payns is one of the division’s most 
       accomplished agents working to neutralize international 
       threats on a daily basis while simultaneously trying to 
       balance his home life as a husband and father. When a 
       routine mission to infiltrate a dangerous terrorist group 
       unexpectedly goes belly up, Alec is faced with the 
       unthinkable: that he may have been betrayed by someone in 
       his close-knit team—and they may be trying to pin the 
       blame on Alec himself.   Back in Paris, Alec is assigned 
       to investigate a secretive biological weapons facility in 
       Pakistan which the DGSE believes to be producing a newly 
       weaponized strain of bacteria, intended for release in 
       France. As Alec works to uncover the facility’s secrets, 
       he must also fight to clear his name and discover who the 
       mole is before it’s too late. It’s not just his reputation
       that’s at stake—it’s the lives of his wife, two young 
       children, and the entire population of Paris.
