A SECRET CHINESE ORGANIZATION. THE CIA. THE U.S. NUCLEAR LAUNCH

CODES. AND A DEADLY GAME OF ESPIONAGE WITH THE FATE OF THE WORLD IN

THE BALANCE.

Before she became Agent Scarlett Caso of the NPDIA, Maris Correa was a CIA officer enlisted

for only the most dangerous missions. With ONCE KILLED TWICE DEAD, E.S. Brown

presents the Cuban-American superspy in a twisting and bending thriller that could be straight

out of an Ian Fleming James Bond adventure.

The U.S. nuclear launch codes program is compromised and CIA Officer Maris Correa is

recruited to track down those responsible. As she navigates the streets of Hong Kong and the

countrysides of mainland China, Maris quickly discovers her targets are not who they were

presented to be, and the true nature of her involvement in the mission is more dangerous than she

ever would have predicted.

Forced to team with a young and inexperienced CIA officer, Maris learns that the Gold Codes

heist may not be the intended mission after all. Every revelation leads to more uncertainty, and

before long, Maris and her partner are facing death and deception at every turn as the United

States is left defenseless and on the cusp of being thrust into an international incident.

Each passing moment increases the danger for Maris, her partner, and the entire world. As

treason takes hold of the mission, Maris struggles to navigate the life-and-death operation that

consumes intelligence agencies on multiple continents, leaving millions of people in danger.
