Description
We all have our little secrets. Some of those secrets we share with those closest to us . . . others we would go to any length to keep from them.
Charlie White has a lifetime of secrets. He retired from an exemplary career with the Central Intelligence Agency without anyone ever realizing he was a double agent from day one. But that's a rather small secret compared with other facets of Charlie's meticulously orchestrated life.
One hundred meters beneath the U.S. Military Hospital in Incirlik Turkey exists one of the world's most advanced laboratories. There in what is officially called Containment Lab Seven rests one of Charlie's darkest secrets. The scientists who monitor C-Lab-7 have been trying for some time to kill, or at the very least control, the secret that lives in what they privately call the Pandora Vault.
There is a yacht named the Nightwind in the middle of Hong Kong harbor. Interpol lists the master of that vessel as Nathan Sin, one of the world's premier assassins. Charlie White and the master of the Nightwind wear identical images of a ruby eyed effigy around their necks.
Charlie's life seems balanced, his secrets secure. Then rumors come from China's Xizang Zizhiqu Province (what the rest of the world still calls Tibet) about villages of headless corpses. Photographs of the carnage are delivered to Charlie's Washington townhouse, Nathan Sin receives one of the missing heads in Hong Kong, and Charlie is dragged into a nightmare adventure that threatens to destroy him and everything he holds dear.
It quickly becomes apparent that someone knows all of Charlie's little secrets. His life is being slowly peeled away, layer by layer. If he doesn't stop them there will soon be nothing left.
In his desperate struggle to discover his vengeful enemy's identity and purpose, Charlie uncovers a savage plan of global decimation, brutal revenge, and a horrific vision for a new world order.
Charlie White finds his own personal hell at the roof of the world. To survive he must bare the secrets of his soul, jeopardize the lives of his friends and family, and descend into the bowels of the Pandora Vault to confront the great, dark mystery we all fear . . . the truth of who we are.
