This novel opens where Stone Cold ends, just after Oliver Stone
has assassinated Carter Gray, head of the CIA, and Roger Simpson, who
had raised Stone's daughter after his wife was murdered. Both men had
conspired to ruin Stone's life and force him underground courtesy of a
fake grave at Arlington National Cemetery. It was a righteous kill
within the world of the series. He is headed to New Orleans on Amtrak,
leaving his friends in the dark as to his destination, when a young man
on the train is attacked by three hoodlums. Stone rescues the young
man, but they have to leave the train. He accompanies the man to
Divine, which at first seems to be a good place to hide.
