Cinnabar's chief spymaster is a mother also, and her son is determined to search for treasure in the midst of a civil war. Who better to watch over him then Captain Daniel Leary, Cinnabar's troubleshooter, and his friend cyberspy Adele Mundy?

Daniel and Adele face kidnappers, hijackers, pirates and a death squad--even before they can get to their real business of ending the war and escorting the boy on his mission.
