when he receives the sudden good
news that Harry has surfaced, gut-
twisting doubts arise. Has Harry's cover
been blown? And if so, why has the
Brotherhood of the Watch let him live?
For Harry Latham has emerged with an
explosive list: the secret supporters of
the movement, among them some of the
highest-ranking officials in the United
States and its allies, names synonymous
with honorable service to their nations.
It is a document that could topple
governments — but is the list legitimate?
Can Drew Latham trust his own brother?
To find the answer, Drew Latham
decides to take on his brother's identity,
stepping directly into the crossfire
between the assassins gunning for Harry
Latham — and those who want Drew
himself dead.
