Midnight Never Comes

After a botched mission in Albania, Paul Chavasse has been put out to grass. The Bureau figured their best agent was finished. But for Chavasse it is far from all over, as he seeks to rebuild his strength under the guidance of a martial arts master. And he is going to need every ounce of it.
