Daniel „Mac“ MacCormick má fajn život. Pětatřicetiletý veterán americké armády žije poklidným životem na Key West na Floridě a živí ho člun Maine. Sukničkář Mac má všechno – kromě peněz na opravu své milované lodi. Pak za ním přijde právník z Miami, jakýsi Carlos, s neodolatelnou nabídkou: dostane 2 miliony dolarů, když dopluje do Havany a přiveze 60 milionů dolarů z Castrovy skrýše. Tyhle peníze kdysi patřily rodině krásné kubánsko-americké ženy jménem Sara Ortega. A Mac ví, že z něj bude buď bohatý muž nebo mrtvola...

Daniel 'Mac' MacCormick has a good life. Aged thirty-five and a decorated US Army veteran, he whiles away his life in stunning Key West, Florida, running a forty-two-foot charter fishing boat The Maine. A ladies' man and rule-breaker, Mac has it all, apart from the money to hold on to his beloved boat. Then Mac is approached by a hotshot Miami lawyer called Carlos with an apparently irresistable offer: a fee of 2 million to run the boat into Havana and smuggle out 60 million from a stash hidden from the Castro government - cash once owned by the family of a beautiful Cuban-American woman named Sara Ortega. With the political 'Cuban Thaw' underway, it's only a matter of time before someone finds the stash. But Mac knows if he accepts this job, he'll walk away rich ... or not at all

Prescient and chilling, DeMille's #1 New York Times bestselling novel takes us into the heart of a new Cold War with a clock-ticking plot that has Manhattan in its crosshairs. After a showdown with the notorious Yemeni terrorist known as The Panther, John Corey has left the Anti-Terrorist Task Force and returned home to New York City, taking a job with the Diplomatic Surveillance Group. Although Corey's new assignment with the DSG-surveilling Russian diplomats working at the U.N. Mission-is thought to be "a quiet end," he is more than happy to be out from under the thumb of the FBI and free from the bureaucracy of office life. But Corey realizes something the U.S. government doesn't: The all-too-real threat of a newly resurgent Russia. When Vasily Petrov, a colonel in the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service posing as a diplomat with the Russian U.N. Mission, mysteriously disappears from a Russian oligarch's party in Southampton, it's up to Corey to track him down. What are the Russians up to and why? Is there a possible nuclear threat, a so-called radiant angel? Will Corey find Petrov and put a stop to whatever he has planned before it's too late? Or will Corey finally be outrun and outsmarted, with America facing the prospect of a crippling attack unlike anything it's ever seen before?

Po střetu s nechvalně proslulým jemenským teroristou známým Panter odešel John Corey od protiteroristické operační skupiny a vrátil se domů do New Yorku, kde přijal zaměstnání u Diplomatické dozorovací služby. Ta je sice považována za „oázu klidu“, Corey je ovšem rád, že se vymanil z moci FBI a její ubíjející byrokracie. Zároveň si nicméně uvědomuje něco, čeho si nejvyšší americké kruhy dosud nevšímají: velice akutní hrozbu představovanou novým rozmachem Ruska. Sledování ruského špeha Vasilije Petrova, kryjícího se za diplomatickou funkci při OSN, zdánlivě představuje pouze další rutinní úkol, když však Petrov záhadně zmizí z večírku ruského oligarchy na Long Islandu, nabere operace dočista jiný spád. Co a proč Rusové chystají? Podaří se ruského špióna najít a zastavit, než bude pozdě? Nebo Corey konečně narazil na soupeře, kterému nestačí? Schyluje se k nejničivějšímu útoku, jaký kdy Amerika zažila... DeMillův mrazivý a prorocký román proniká pod povrch nové studené války... a v hledáčku teroristů se znovu ocitá Manhattan.
