The Honorable Traitors
About this ebook
She was once part of a famous Washington, DC, power couple. Now, she's been killed in an explosion that will bury her secrets with her. But Thomas Laker won't let that happen . . .
On the books, the former college football player is an NSA consultant. Off of them, he's an agent of the clandestine Gray Outfit, which reports directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security. Delving into the victim's unconventional past, Laker teams up with her granddaughter, NSA cryptographer Ava North. An obscure journal sends them back to Honolulu right before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Together they unearth a hotbed of spy activity and one of World War II's greatest mysteries, while a man of many faces continues his deadly spree . . .
Always one step ahead of Laker, his appearance changes with every kill and his motive is unknown. And unless Laker catches up to him, his ultimate act will unleash a wave of destruction unlike anything America has ever seen . . .
