The Pyrrhic Rendition

American journalist Ianthe Van Alt came to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula to investigate the cross-border tunnels into Gaza, to forget what had happened to her in New York four months ago, and to forget William. What she found was an escapee from Cairo's infamous Torrah Prison, an escapee with a story about the CIA dragging a businessman in to be tortured. Tales of the US government using Extraordinary Rendition for purposes other than terrorism had surfaced from time to time, but this one was different: a crafty guard had taken a photograph proving it all. But more than a cell phone pic convinced Ianthe of the story's authenticity: as soon as she returned to Cairo, the murders and kidnapping attempts began as the full weight of the US government came crashing down around her, desperate to smother her investigation before it unveiled a truth so dangerous it could tear the administration from power. Now, Ianthe is on the run, searching for the crafty guard and his photo, and trying to evade the private military contractors the administration has sent to capture her. Also pursuing her is William, a former Foreign Service Officer and Ianthe's ex-lover, sent by her paper to investigate her disappearance. No one knows her or her methods better than William Kennan, no one is more likely to track her down, but will he find her in time to help her gather the evidence of the administration's crimes, to impeach the President, or will he unwittingly draw down her hunters upon them both?
