Sandstorm

An impossible mission. A former spy who lives for the impossible. Seven lives rest in her hands, but who will save her?

Kate Cavanaugh can't escape the CIA. Now her former employer wants her to find unfindable hostages held by ghostlike terrorists in the barren lands of the Sahel, with oversight and meddling from the very people she left the Agency to escape and nary a shred of actionable intelligence to assist.

There's not enough money in the world to make this worth her while.

But husband Nick and business partner Jake see nothing but action, adventure, and glory for Sandstorm International, and Kate reluctantly agrees to direct her prodigious talents toward the liberation of American and French hostages in Mali.

With help from their Sandstorm family, the team orchestrates contact with the terrorists and dangles a hefty ransom that will never be paid. As Sandstorm's con for the ages plays out in the endless sands of the terrorists' unholy emirate, another deception unfolds behind the scenes. It's a game of cat and mouse, and Kate and Nick and their friends learn the hard way that they're the mice.

All they were supposed to do was find the hostages and step aside for the rescue. But suddenly it's personal, and Kate's not leaving Mali until the job is done.

Can Sandstorm save seven people from a tragic fate in the unforgiving desert, or will the CIA's vicious politics mean the death of them all?
