Hugo Bromley is the last of an old and very wealthy family. He is a spy and (unknown to almost all of his colleagues) an assassin. He is kidnapped, tortured, shot, and left for dead. A television newsreader discovers his bleeding body in a rainy alley, and destroys Hugo's espionage career by revealing his identity to the world.Wounded in body and mind, Hugo returns to the family estate, Bromley Manor, to pursue a 'normal life'--but what is 'normal' for someone whose work was always below the radar, and whose identity was whatever his Control wanted it to be?Surrounded by new companions, Hugo confronts his past, and wrestles daily with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Between flashbacks and memories of previous missions, Hugo's strengths and limits are tested by critical situations-- a break-in at the Hall, and a massive flood.In climactic finale, traumatic scenes are repeated, and Hugo's life once again hangs in the balance.
