When the king's own nephew is discovered funding ISIS, the president suspects that the Saudis never intended to live up to their agreement.

This fragile détente holds until Cook’s power-hungry security adviser convinces him that Rapp has no intention of honoring their agreement. To put him on the defensive, they leak the identity of his partner, Claudia Gould.
