The war is over, and Major John Hartman has left active duty. He and Sergeant Margie Bywater have gotten married and are looking forward to the next stage of life, come what may. They honeymoon in California, relaxing in her rich family's winter home.
But rest doesn't come easily to heroes when Colonel Spivey, formerly of the OSS and now of the newly formed CIA, appears unannounced to recruit the newly married couple into America's new cause - the clandestine fight against Communist oppression.
But a literal wrong turn finds John Hartman on an idyllic suburban street in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. He finds a woman covered in blood running frantically up the street, shouting about a dead woman and her missing children. But this is a domestic crime and has nothing to do with the CIA. A no nonsense FBI Agent makes very clear to John that neither his interest nor his interference in the investigation will be tolerated.
But neither John nor Margie are the type to let something go, especially with the lives of innocents on the line. As they delve deeper into a case that has few threads to tug, they find that each lead only brings up more questions. They find themselves suddenly embroiled in a murder kidnapping with an impossible connection to the ghosts John thought he left behind in the war.
