After completing his assignment, he contracts with the State Department, specializing in negotiations. His party is beset with accidents and bad luck, including a car crash. Grayson wakes up in jail but is rescued by Alexander Radu, a member of Romania’s royal family. Alexander Radu can do things that Grayson can’t wrap his mind around.
