But even the best slip up and they got him in the end. But then Tommy was given a choice. Go to prison or work for the CIA? State penitentiary or Langley? No choice at all, and now he must use his unique talents in a desperate search for information and - ultimately - power...In WAGES OF SIN, Tommy's sent to guard a farmhouse in Virginia's remote Blue Ridge Mountains, where top government operatives are debriefing a star defector: the ultimate KGB insider, a man with records on every operation and every dirty trick the agency has ever pulled. Tommy arrives to find the guards dead, and a team of US commandos slaughtering everyone in sight, then setting the house alight. Tommy escapes with what appears to be the sole survivor, a beautiful translator who steals his car and leaves him for dead. What secrets did the defector know?
