Descending Spiral

0/5 ( ratings)

"The choice is yours."

U.N. spy Mai Fisher knows surveillance is dull, but her subject, John Thomas Carroll, has done things to confirm her suspicions he’s planning revenge against the government for its botched raid on a religious cult in Killeen, Texas. Yet, while work runs smoothly, she is concerned because her partner, Alexei Bukharin, who infiltrated a paramilitary compound, has been out of touch for months.

Alexei is more than ready to leave Patriot City. He's done things he regrets, and he doesn’t usually indulge in remorse. To assure his survival, his focus shifts from the past to what awaits him at home: his wife and grandchild.

John Carroll is falling in love with IRA outcast Siobhan Dochartaigh but has a problem balancing that with the mission he’s been given. He doesn’t know Siobhan—Mai Fisher—is collecting evidence against him while using him to get even with her partner for what he did while under cover, something threatening the continuation of their partnership.

Mai goes to extremes she swore never to use to break Carroll away from the influence of Patriot City’s Elijah the Prophet. When Carroll wavers, she tells him he has to choose: her or the destiny Prophet demands Carroll fulfill.

Can Mai—and Alexei—live with the choice Carroll makes?
