Chris McCowan believed his wife Angela had been abducted, but he had no
way of being sure. She was an MI6 agent and routinely didn't check in with him
for weeks. His intuition told him something was different this time.
He was an American computer
scientist living in Angela's home in Bath, England. He worked on cyber security
for the FBI, and he'd had investigated missing people before. While illegally
analyzing FBI computer communications with MI6, he found a reference to an
agent missing and per the faintly encrypted description, the missing person
could only be Angela.
What to do? She'd made him promise to never go looking for her if she
was missing. A promise he couldn't keep. Chris activated the Vengeance Squad.
Tex, one of his students who understood the seedier side of the world and Liz,
the retired librarian who could find the resources needed to carry out a search
anywhere in the world. They'd worked together before and had successfully
completed the missions.
A clue that takes them to a refugee camp in Berlin where they are joined
by Heinz, a German translator. Liz's financial backers provide a bookmobile
outfitted with the latest technology to help find Angela. When they finally
find her, they must convince her to leave her captors.
