The story begins in Budapest when Sophie Kohl's husband, a mid-level American diplomat, is assassinated just minutes after she confesses to an old extramarital affair in Cairo. Suspicious of the official inquiries, Sophie returns to Cairo to investigate the murder herself, seeking help from her former lover, CIA agent Stan Bertolli. Meanwhile, a Libyan-American CIA analyst named Jibril Aziz realizes that "Stumbler," a shelved covert plan he developed years ago to oust the Libyan dictator, appears to be actively in motion.
