Plot
A police raid goes horribly wrong, killing innocent people. Bond suspects the Union is responsible and vows to stop them. His investigation leads him to Paris in a deadly game of pursuit, where he meets Tylyn Mignonne, a glamorous movie star with a troubled past who may help him reach his target—or seal his fate.

The hunt centers on the Union’s latest plan to strike at society, connected to Tylyn’s husband, Leon Essinger, and his new movie, Pirate Island, in which Tylyn stars. This book wraps up Benson’s Union Trilogy.

Locations
Nice, Paris, Cannes, Monte Carlo and Corsica feature prominently, with brief scenes in Los Angeles, Japan, and Chicago.
