His intent: steal a box stamped with a Nazi swastika containing an enigmatic object Chesario brought back from Germany after WWII.Fatal complications slam Rayne with blistering surprise when a rogue FBI agent and his nefarious cohort known as the "Magician," kill their way into the estate to also steal the box. But the object of everyone's intent has disappeared-an item that, in the wrong hands, will have severe international consequences.Rayne now senses her CIA field director has duped her.
