Overview

Who watches the watchmen?Mai Fisher's tenure as head of the United Nations Intelligence Directorate has gone smoother than she expected-until someone in her inner circle betrays The Directorate and tries to rig the U.S. presidential election to favor the conservative billionaire candidate. Mai knows if he wins, the top levels of the U.S. government will be headed by deconstructionist right-wingers and white supremacists, but first she has to deal with the traitor in The Directorate's midst. His fate? Extraordinary rendition and indefinite incarceration. But someone in The Directorate doesn't agree and deals a different punishment. After the billionaire's unexpected win, Mai decides it's time to relocate The Directorate from the U.S. to somewhere more neutral. She can't resist, however, one final act of intrigue before she leaves, a reminder to her enemies she will still be watching.
