This book finds Kay and Benton continuing their affair while investigating the drowning death of a reported in a restricted naval area. As the story progresses, we have a terrorist/cultish cell that is behind some major shenanagins. It seemed a little far fetched at the time when I read this book, but as I write this review there are plenty of similar events actually happening the the US. It isn't as far fetched as it once seemed. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say. The ending of this book was a real let down for me. There were just too many unresolved things. Lucy is back to being extremely irritating in this book, and I wish she would cut the nonsense out. She has the potential to be an amazing character and is a whiz with the rapidly changing technology, but she just wants to be annoying about the whole thing. This was not one of my favorite books in the series, but it wasn't terrible either.
