Instantly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive. Using her black-ops military training, she devises an ingenious - and dangerous - trap. But when things go haywire, Mallory realizes she'll be killed in the blink of an eye unless she finds a way to turn the tables on her ruthless adversary.

One man takes a journey across the country, smuggling and selling illegal black diamonds to pay for his father's pardon in South Africa.

Determination and revenge fuel him to overcome an opponent far more lethal and deadlier than he has ever met.
