Disgraced former CIA operative Hector Kane thought he'd left his thrilling past behind. His once vibrant life has taken a nosedive into monotony and heartbreak, punctuated by a failing marriage and the sorrow of losing his son. He's barely staying afloat, teaching at a prestigious Middle Eastern university, always yearning for the adrenaline-fueled days of his past. Out of the blue, an unexpected lifeline: The CIA wants him back. A glimmer of hope sparks in Hector-a shot at mending his marriage, living the life he's always dreamed of. The mission seems innocuously simple: take his wife, Yubi, and five of his students to a picturesque island in the South China Sea. The catch? The true nature of the task will only be revealed once they are in Asia. In the heart of Asia, the puzzle pieces begin to form a disturbing picture. When asked to infect one of his students with a lethal virus, Hector starts to question the mission. The plot thickens further when a Saudi prince dials his number, claiming that Yubi is a Chinese spy who has seduced and abducted his son. With this revelation, the stakes have never been higher. Hector is on his own, torn between loyalty and truth. He's in a race against time to salvage his marriage, fulfill his mission, and most importantly, figure out who he truly is. Will Hector find a way to unravel the tangled web of deception and danger he's ensnared in? "The Haze" is a thrilling dive into a world of espionage, danger, and personal discovery. "Engrossing...
