      September 11, 2004: Ken Morgan is the commander of The Compound, an elite U.S. covert military unit, and he's good at this job, not only in that he's charismatic, but also in that Carly Manning has met her match. Carly personifies the meaning of 'femme fatale' and sparks fly. But the Soviet Union can be an even colder bedfellow, especially when it is learned that Carly has a close relationship with a Soviet spy. Ken now wants Carly in his group. After a bitter dispute with the Joint Chief of Staff, the generals have no further use for Ken or his operations. They issue an immediate order for his termination; however, Carly doesn't want her Ken to become a casualty of the spy game. She sets her mind to meet the assassin hired to kill him, but will it be too late to save Ken's life? THE COMPOUND is revealing, and the military aspects of both the United States Government and the Soviet Union will send a chill up your spine. This spy thriller is too close to the truth to be fiction. Ms. Shepherd knows her stuff, has done her research, and is the best plotter in America.
