Jessica Jones is on an ordinary job protecting cabinet minister Margaret Lewton when events take an extraordinary turn. Seconds before a bomb blast occurs that destroys her client's hotel, she spots terrorist Robert Korman leaving the premises in his getaway car. But Korman was killed in an explosion two years previously....

Now Jessica is the only person alive who can recognise the resurrected Korman, nurtured and rebuilt after reports of his horrific injuries convinced the world he was no more. He knows this, and is determined to have her destroyed. But what he doesn't realise is that he doesn't have to find her -- military commanders and government officials from the very top have put their heads together to decide on the best course of action, and they're sending her after him.
