The reality of harsh changes to her job are delivered to Morgan in a series of hurried meetings and phone calls. Morgan needs to enlist the help of her pal Skelter at the FBI, and she'd like to have Rob Platt along, but when this mid-aged Canadian spy agency director ever get the things she really wants? On an emergency stop enroute to New York, Morgan meets a remarkable canine soldier named Max. While they get to know each other, Morgan grants herself the chance to dream about a quieter life, but things continue to unravel. Her biggest challenge is yet to come, and it remains to be seen if Rob, Max, and Morgan can find anything like a happy ending to round it all out with.Morgan's not a movie spy, as you would have seen in her first two engaging novellas, Border Pieces and Border Shock. She knows how to handle herself in a fight, and she can leverage her psychic hearing power to track down the bad guys whether she's in England, Canada, or the US. Morgan's approach? Sometimes you have to shoot first and ask questions later.
