<p>Murder, like history, often repeats itself. And, when it does, it&rsquo;s the worst kind of murder.</p><p>Detective Richard Jax was never good at history&mdash;but, after years as a cop, he is about to get the lesson of his life. Ambushed and dying on a stakeout, he&rsquo;s saved by Captain Patrick &ldquo;Trick&rdquo; McCall&mdash;the ghost of a World War II OSS agent. Trick has been waiting since 1944 for a chance to solve his own murder. Soon Jax is a suspect in a string of murders&mdash;murders linked to smuggling refugees out of the Middle East&mdash;a plot similar to the World War II OSS operation that brought scientists out of war-torn Europe. With the aid of a beautiful and intelligent historian, Dr. Alex Vouros, Jax and Trick unravel a seventy-year-old plot that began with Trick&rsquo;s murder in 1944. Could the World War II mastermind, code named Harriet, be alive and up to old games? Is history repeating itself?</p><p>Together, Jax and Trick hunt for the link between their pasts&mdash;confronted by some of Washington&rsquo;s elite and one provocative, alluring French Underground agent, Abrielle Chanoux. Somewhere in Trick&rsquo;s memories is a traitor. That traitor killed him. That traitor is killing again. Who framed Jax and who wants Trick&rsquo;s secret to remain secret? The answer may be, who doesn&rsquo;t?</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
