5Cyrus Hampton, the Director of a small, Federal Government Agency that reports to the President of the United States, dies suddenly one day after work. His death occurs while he was investigating criminal

activity at the Select Committee for General Services.

The President appoints an Acting Director, Paul Alexander, to continue the investigation. Though, Paul becomes spooked when the coroner finds that the former Director had died of poison and not a heart attack, as initially surmised.

Cyrus' killer had gone through great lengths to make sure their identity remains a mystery. As the investigation continues, the killer's tactics change but their next target is clear.

Will the Acting Director succumb to the same fate as his predecessor?
