Synopsis
Duane Rondo, disgraced high-ranking police official, now runs a top-secret anti-terrorist operation near Washington, D.C. Rondo and his cybercops have a license to find out everything - about everyone. Performing a routine vetting of Sybille Haskin, a Cabinet nominee, he discovers that she has a totally unblemished record. No one is perfect, he believes - not even a parking ticket. Rondo suspects that Haskin's data has been scrubbed clean, perhaps by the Enemy. Driven by his need to know that no one is perfect, Rondo intervenes personally in the investigation, becomes involved with Haskin, and becomes the target of a conspiracy that is, with or without her knowledge, determined to get her named Homeland Security Secretary by any means needed.
