Jack Casey has finally retired from years of service to the CIA and he and his wife, Cherie, couldn’t be happier. Finally, she can stop worrying about her husband every time he walks out the door, and for his part, Jack can finally pursue other interests. The Caseys plan to move to Kenya, Africa and spend retirement working with wildlife conservation. They already have a beautiful home in a lovely new area—and they are more than ready for a safari.
Meanwhile, a political storm is brewing in Africa when a group of activists in opposition to the current president begin to plan a coup d’état. President Mkipii of Zimbabwe goes from being a political hero—after helping his country gain independence from Britain—to a full-fledged dictator. The people of Zimbabwe have been stripped of land as well as their income from agriculture and tourism, and even their rights as citizens. The people have had it, once and for all, and a new man has been chosen to take over as interim president. All they need now is a little outside help to carry out their mission…
…which is where the United States Central Intelligence Agency comes in.
The CIA’s involvement in the overthrow of President Mkipii has as much to do with domestic interests as it does with the aiding and assisting the Zimbabwean people. Chinese pursuits in Africa have won them plenty of favor with the African people, as well as with land and oil. Now, the United States is ready to get their fair share, and the best way to do that is to offer political support.
While the CIA is organizing an intricate operation to take place in Zimbabwe, current U.S. President Martinez is thinking about re-election. In an effort to divert attention from the state of the economy, Martinez hopes to shift the focus to his foreign policy initiatives. Therefore, this is certainly not the time to tarnish his name as far as foreign relations go. He doesn’t need any bad press interrupting the likelihood of his being re-elected.
The CIA puts together a team to aid in Zimbabwe’s dictatorial overthrow, but there is still one key position that needs to be filled and there is absolutely no other agent who can fill the bill better than Jack Casey…
…but the Agency is going to have to get through one very influential individual first — his wife.
