High Treason

A Houston visit by Saudi Prince Omar bin Talal, who has come to arrange cancer care for his mother, turns dangerous when someone tries to kill him. The attack sends federal agencies scrambling to protect him. FBI Special Agent Kord Davidson is put in charge of the prince's security team because he and the prince have been friends for years. He is less than pleased when the CIA sends operative Monica Alden to join the task force after the attempt.

Kord and Monica have to set their rivalry aside once they learn the prince is in the United States for more than medical care. He hopes to strengthen relations with America and to spur economic growth and modernization in his homeland. Those goals could easily provoke enemies, both in the U.S. and among nations hostile to Saudi Arabia.

The would-be killer keeps staying a step ahead of the investigators, and the trail points to someone near the prince or even someone inside the inquiry. The agents must determine who would betray their country and why.
