After Admiral Chegwiddens daughter, Francesca, is kidnapped in Italy, Chegwidden meets with his ex-wife, Marcella, and her husband, a wealthy Italian businessman, to get more background on Francesca’s friends — and enemies. Chegwidden learns that Francesca was seriously involved with the heir to a Mafia family — a man Harm and Mac believe is responsible for the theft of Navy missiles for sale to Afghanistan. All intelligence points to the fact that Francesca is caught in the middle of this business deal gone awry, and it’s up to Chegwidden and Harm to rescue her from the mob.
