When Jimena Lincoln, security specialist with the FBI, is sent to Serbia to rescue the twin sisters of Director Ross, she understands she's in for one devil of a time.

While the FBI won't pay ransoms, they will sacrifice promising agents to the cause and launch rescue missions. As someone the terrorists would love to get their hands on, Jimena is perfect for the job: if she can't get the women out, she can serve as a juicy target while they escape to freedom and return home.

Jimena expects trouble, but herding polecats while dismantling a religious cult determined to bring about the End of Days will test her patience, her wits, and her abilities. Should she fail, they'll just be the first to die.

For Director Ross's sake, Jimena will do it all, including sacrifice her dreams, her career, and her future.

The race is on, and the doomsday clock is ticking ever closer to midnight.
