From the Back Cover

CIA officer Nicholas Lowe had a brilliant future, until a failed operation in El Salvador nearly ruined his career. Ten years later, with the murders of CIA officer Tyler Broadman and his fiancee, the alluring Helena Hernandez, Nicholas returns to the field and assumes control of a CIA covert operation to maintain a U.S. military presence in Panama post-1999. To complete the operation, Nicholas immerses himself in the shady world of drug trafficking, money laundering, and political corruption, but the murder of Tyler's fiancee takes center stage. Who murdered Helena Hernandez? To answer that question, Nicholas unravels the greatest mystery of all -- himself.
