However, Saxon is already in the middle of another, more personal, mission - to track down her ex-colleague, Agent Leon Kaminski, who bizarrely seems to be hiding out in the streets of Dublin. It's not the first time he's gone missing - but it's the first time since his wife was murdered...Soon enough, though, it's clear that Saxon's hunt for Marsha's killer and her search for her old friend are disturbingly heading in the same direction...
