Max Starkey walked away from the CIA after a mission in Laos went wrong—horribly wrong. Seven years later, he’s living in the gray spaces between criminals and justice, earning a living recovering stolen goods for villains who know better than to ask questions. But when he’s lured to Bangkok under false pretenses, Max realizes his past isn’t done with him. The setup: an old flame, Kelly Riggs, now married to his rival, Derek Moss. The job: steal $130 million in dictator-owned gold before a coup kicks off. The problem: everyone’s planning a double-cross—and Max is the mark. But things get even more complicated when Max’s “companion,” Giuliana Abara, turns out to be an undercover FBI agent with secrets of her own. Caught in a deadly web of betrayal and political violence, Max must choose between old loyalties and new truths.
