An FBI pre-dawn stakeout in the Central Park Zoo yields results and an industrial spy working for Beijing is captured. The plans he carries contain the decryption code of a new U.S. satellite system which will enable the Americans to reduce transmission latency by 75% thereby increasing the country's economy by billions per annum.
Additionally HERMES has the ability to pinpoint any given individual and trace all their known contacts through electronic means all in real time.
Although HERMES is intended for use against America's enemies, not everyone in the D.C. establishment sees its use as purely defensive. They immediately realize HERMES' political potential is unlimited.
It's 2022 a year after The Galileo Project and NYPD Homicide detective Frank Mahone is back working cases. Across the pond in London Scotland Yard Inspector Nigel Morrissey prepares for retirement while the members of his Special Homicide Investigation Team or the SHIT Squad, decide on a vacation to the Big Apple.
But when FBI agent Irina Kuksova discovers who the Chinese spy in the park was, she gets herself suspended & turns to Frank Mahone for help.
No science is immune to the infection of
politics and the corruption of power.
- Jacob Bronowski
