A presidential hopeful is framed for murder while an FBI special agent embarks on a terrifying mission in this “compelling” action thriller (Booklist).

“One of the most auspicious thriller debuts in a long time.” —James Patterson

A fifteen-year member of the FBI who received its coveted Medal of Bravery, former agent Christopher Whitcomb electrified readers with his breathtaking memoir, Cold Zero. Now his remarkable past and hard-edged prose illuminate his highly acclaimed first thriller . . .

Selected for the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, Special Agent Jeremy Waller is about to fight terrorism at its source—by diving headlong into a violent world of trapdoor truths and shifting alliances. And he’ll have company: a beautiful executive more adept at murder than marketing who turns his assignment into a cipher...a ruthless tycoon set on selling a revolutionary technology to terrorists...and a female senator and presidential hopeful charged with an unspeakable crime. Here there is no justice—and only one way out of the darkness: Head even deeper into the shadows . . .

“A cutting-edge counterterrorism thriller. Imaginative plotting, rock-solid prose, fascinating technology and blasts of furious action will hold readers hostage until the last surprising pages. . . . This is a stellar thriller from an exciting new voice.” —Publishers Weekly
