Mole within the CIA
We follow Steve Vail, a former CIA agent turned bricklayer. When three international journalists are murdered, the CIA recruits Vail to track down Victor Radek, a former CIA employee who has become corrupt and accuses the agency of the murders.
Vail must determine who the traitor within the CIA is, stop Radek’s murders and save the CIA’s reputation. Along the way he is assisted by Kate, a highly trained CIA agent, although he initially treats her more as a nuisance than an equal.
