Covert Game

The GhostWalkers, a team of genetically and psychically enhanced soldiers, face one of their riskiest missions yet. A senator has betrayed them, dangling classified GhostWalker data in front of a Chinese crime lord, and the criminal took the bait. To undo the damage, Zara Hightower, one of the world's foremost experts in artificial intelligence, was sent in to psychically wipe his computer network. She pulled it off, but the price was steep. Now Zara is the prisoner of a man sliding into paranoid madness, and torture and death are waiting for her. The team doesn't abandon its own in enemy territory, and the rescue falls to Gino Mazza. He is a lethal, relentless operative, driven by demons so dark that his battered soul has stopped looking for any kind of peace. Gino's orders leave no room for doubt. He must bring Zara out alive, or kill her if she turns out to have led the team into a trap. Yet the intense focus he has always aimed at his targets begins to shift into something close to desire, and that complicates a mission that was already close to suicidal. Covert Game is part of Christine Feehan's GhostWalkers series, mixing military action, paranormal abilities and a dangerous attraction between two people on opposite sides of a life-or-death gamble.
