But having lived a double life as a CIA operative for ten years, her life is never simple. During a costume ball in an ancient Venetian palace, an assassin tries to kill her. As a result Sebastian gets ridiculously, over-protective, which drives her crazy. Her old boss offers to help her, but wants something in return. Bakari al-Sharif, an arms-dealer with an insatiable thirst for power, is planning to steal King Tutankhamen's scarab from Highclere castle near London. Sadie is the only person who has ever gotten close to al-Sharif and lived. The CIA wants her to stop him. Or at least that's what they say. When it comes to the world of espionage, the true motivation of the players is never clear. Can Sadie return to the life of a spook and maintain a relationship with Sebastian? Can she nail the arms-dealer? And why did the masked man try to kill her?
