Maxine Cantrell, agent for JOB, an international organization designed to stamp out terrorism, is given her toughest assignment yet when she is asked by her boss and former husband Duncan to track down the Trophy Art seized by the Nazis and hidden by the occupying Russians at the end of World War II.

Maxine and her Team Paradox soon realize there is more at stake than a few valuable paintings as her every move seems to be anticipated, and she must discover what the real purpose of her assignment is before it’s too late.
