At just twenty-four years old, Carey Madigan was made a widow-by the Russian Mafiya... Years after her husband's murder, Carey relocated from Russia back to U.S., where she works as an assistant curator for a prestigious museum. Her past seemingly left behind, she no longer looks over her shoulder or jumps at shadows. That is, until her boss is murdered-by the Russian Mafiya. Carey's past comes back to haunt her... When the police discover the nature of her husband's untimely demise, Carey becomes the prime suspect. But worse, the Mafiya is again pursuing her, and now that she's seen their faces, they're out to silence her for good. Frightened, she turns to an old friend-CIA agent Elena Gates. Dmitry Ivanov is a tech legend in the hacker underworld... Russian born and raised, Dmitry uses his skills to help the CIA. Filling in for his sister Elena, he is intrigued when Carey walks through the door. When he sees her reluctance, he realizes he has to win her trust before he can help her. And if anyone has a chance of clearing her name, uncovering the motives behind her boss' murder, and protecting her from the men determined to end her life, it's him. Together, Dmitry and Carey uncover a trail that leads them to the discovery of a priceless artifact. Now they must fight to keep it-and themselves-out of harm's way, and convince the authorities Carey is not a cold-blooded killer. When the Mafiya is out for blood...No law will keep them safe.
