Jimmy Coates seems like an ordinary boy, but he's not. He's genetically engineered to grow into the perfect government assassin. he has to fight not to kill...while his government fights to kill him.

The goal was clear: capture Eichmann and bring him to trial. But for the group of spies charged with carrying it out, it would require false identities, precise teamwork, split-second timing, patient surveillance, and courage beyond anything they'd ever achieved.
