There was a time when CIA officer Nathan Muir and his protégé Tom Bishop were inseparable, travelling the world and tasting everything it had to offer. In a profession fraught with danger and uncertainty, Muir and Bishop forged an uncommonly close friendship based on mutual respect and affection. But that was years ago. Now, in 1991, on the brink of his retirement from the agency, Muir learns that Bishop has gone rogue. His one-time protégé has been jailed overseas on espionage charges and is scheduled to die in 24 hours. Years of bad blood and hurt feelings are washed away in a flood of memorable adventures shared by the two men as Muir takes on his most dangerous--and personal--mission ever.
