A woman awakes in a room she doesn't recognize, next to a husband she doesn't know, with no memory of her life or her past. She is told she is Liz Sansborough, a top US intelligence agent. But is she? The only thing that is certain is that somebody is trying to kill her. Sent to a CIA camp to regain her expert skills, Liz is given her deadly assignment: she must bring in the world's most lethal international assassin, a man known only by his alias, the Carnivore.

Rapidly entangled in a lethal masquerade, she comes to suspect that she is not Liz Sansborough at all, and that the CIA colleagues she has come to trust are perhaps the ones plotting to kill her. Together with her single ally, rogue intelligence operative Asher Flores, Liz sets out to determine her true identity, and in doing so uncovers a multi-billion-dollar conspiracy that threatens to destroy the financial markets of Europe, and the world.
