Mara takes a risk and approaches Agent Thomas Carver—the man she believes is being targeted by the same presence that has been using her. What begins as skepticism quickly shifts into something far more dangerous as both realize they’ve been investigating the same pattern from opposite sides.

A man.

And now that Mara and Carver have found each other, they may have just made themselves the next move on the board.
