In Colombia, a consortium of global businesses, secretly known as Operation Hydra, has developed a new and lethal breed of chemical and biological weapons and plans to sell them to the highest bidder. Saddam ́s access to these WMDs would alter the outcome of the Second Gulf War. In Manhattan, Sharon Weinstock, a brilliant but neurotic prosecutor, verges on a nervous breakdown. In an uncharacteristic act of spontaneity, she leaves her job and flies to Aruba, hoping to confront her demons and pursue her Zen state. While there, she stumbles onto the principals behind Operation Hydra and unwittingly involves herself in their deadly conspiracy. As she unravels their secrets, they draw her ever deeper into their dark world. She must discover within herself the courage necessary to take on the forces behind Operation Hydra and prevent catastrophe in the Middle East.
