Jennifer Ellis thought she had left behind the memories of the international incident where a chartered Iberian Air 727 was hijacked with she and other American high school students, including her brother. But eight years later, while working at the West Wing Gallery of the National Gallery of Art, Jennifer Ellis sees a figure involved with the incident. What was he doing in Washington, D.C.' Was he simply on vacation? If so, why did he run when he realized she'd seen him? Bent on revenge for the slaying of his family, and financed by a wealthy patron in Barcelona, Spain with his own grudge to bear, Ernesto de Rivera uses a unique and deadly high tech method of assassination. When de Rivera discovers that Henry Ellis was the one responsible for unleashing the terrorist who massacred his family he turns his attention to the Ellis family. Once again, the Ellis family is in danger. However, this time, the tables are turned. Instead of Henry Ellis trying to protect and save the lives of his children, it is his daughter, Jennifer Ellis, along with a female F.B.I. agent and a woman detective from Barcelona.
