The old adage "CIA agents never retire, they just take temporary leave" rings loud and clear in this novel about a veteran spy called back to service. Milo Weaver had hoped that his days out in the field were over; he had settled into a quiet life in Brooklyn with his wife and daughter and a routine job at the Agency's New York headquarters. That soothing monotony ends, however, with the long-overdue arrest of a professional assassin whose past history is deeply entangled with Milo and his former associates. To sort out the troubling threads, Weaver goes underground.
