Dangerous Grounds

Having solidified his power after bringing an abrupt end to the nation's most powerful political dynasty, newly installed Head of State James Barchue embarks on an ambitious plan to restore the people's trust in government. But when his second-in-command looses sight of the regime's overall goals and objectives, Sayeed Adib Fawwaz, a familiar and extremely crafty intelligence officer, is sent on a meticulously planned covert operation. His handlers in North Africa have given him explicit instructions and the wily assassin is once again on the move. However, when a well-coordinated counter-surveillance operation uncovers a spectacular scheme involving the Vice President, Head of State Barchue's response spawns an unexpected ripple effect. Sensing the political winds were changing, the head of state assembles his inner circle to devise an elaborate scheme to derail a sensitive accord with the United States. But when a valuable government asset suddenly disappears, the regime's worst nightmare is about to be realized.
