Description
At the heart of the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, Maryland, lies an invincible code-breaking machine—until it encounters a mysterious code it cannot decipher. Enter Susan Fletcher, the NSA's brilliant and stunning head cryptographer. What she unveils sends shockwaves through the corridors of power: the NSA is under siege, not by traditional weapons, but by an ingeniously complex code that could cripple U.S. intelligence if unleashed.
Meanwhile, in Seville, Spain, Ensei Tankado, the mastermind behind the code, is found dead—taking with him the secret to an unbreakable code-writing formula that threatens the delicate balance of post-Cold War power. From the hidden chambers of power to Tokyo's skyscrapers and Spain's grand cathedrals, a desperate race ensues. Amidst a whirlwind of secrecy, betrayal, and lies, Susan Fletcher battles not just for her country’s security but for her own life—and ultimately, the life of the man she loves.
