Is there a connection between a bomb blast meant to kill the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and a group of prominent men who played poker in Moscow years ago? What is Operation Long Shadow, and what does it have to do with the xWave--a new high-tech device that can receive and transmit data via brain waves? Frank Adams must find out why his poker buddies are being targeted for assassination and gets surprising help from his ex-wife, Lisa Hawkes, a brilliant Russian linguist and CIA covert agent, to find out the truth in this international thriller.
