Plot[edit]

Tony Abrams, a former police detective who served at the NYPD's Intelligence Division[1] is working as the office's investigator for the O'Brien, Kimberly, and Rose law firm of New York. He stumbles upon a swirl of intrigue that leads to discovery that for over forty years there is an active mole, code-named Talbot, within the CIA.
