Former military intelligence operative, Josh Katzen, had been enjoying retirement. New name, new job, new friends...he should have known it couldn't last. When a skeleton, wearing an expensive wristwatch, is uncovered in an ancient Peruvian ruin, it sparks a chain of events that threaten to topple Katzen's new life like so many dominoes.

Against his will, Katzen finds himself drawn back into the shadow-world of espionage and is forced to use his skills and wits to survive and perhaps save the day one more time.
