Five years ago, the assassin known as Neptune attempted to redeem himself and escape a lifetime of violence by protecting a woman marked for death. He failed. Now, he may have a second chance...Cairo has become a city on the brink of violence. Protests against powerful government enforcers fill the streets nightly, and the enforcers ready for war against the populace. It's a standoff that cannot last, and it seems all too likely that the uprising will turn deadly soon. In the midst of it all, Emily Winthrop, a British reporter, seeks to bear witness to the struggle and inform the world about its victims. However, there are those who are uncomfortable with the truths she is bringing to light, and they will stop at nothing to silence her.Brought to Egypt by a former American spymaster, John Ransom is tasked with protecting the reporter, circumstances the former assassin was once all too familiar with. Half a decade ago, the death of another woman under his guard led Ransom to imprison himself in an off-the-grid prison in Africa, seeking to atone for his failure. Free once more, Ransom finds himself bound by the challenge to protect Winthrop, to keep someone unfairly sentenced to death alive, to succeed where once he had failed. Surrounded by unrepentant enemies, but supported by unexpected allies, John Ransom will do whatever it takes to keep Winthrop safe and expose those who would see her dead. But even Neptune's deadly skills may not be enough to overcome the strength of the corruption he is about to face.
