Dax's assignment is not the easiest. He must determine if the wife of a dead CIA traitor knows her husband's secret, and if she's in on his betrayal of his country, he needs to find out exactly what she knows, and then, terminate her. Instead Dax finds himself strangely drawn to her, and ends up falling in love. And then, things get really complicated. Because her husband may not be dead, after all. And he is a trained killer -- a lethal, breathing weapon. Can Dax and Judy's love survive the walking shadow?
