Margaret Truman's Murder on the Metro

The New York Times–bestselling series continues with “a roller coaster of a novel” in which PI Robert Brixton uncovers a plot threatening American lives (David Baldacci, New York Times–bestselling author of Absolute Power).

Israel: A drone-based terrorist attack kills dozens on a sun-splashed beach in Caesarea.

Washington: America awakens to the shattering news that Vice President Stephanie Davenport has died of an apparent heart attack.

That same morning, a chance encounter on the Washington Metro results in international private investigator Robert Brixton thwarting an attempted terrorist bombing. Brixton has no reason to suspect that the three incidents have anything in common, until he’s contacted by Kendra Rendine, the Secret Service agent who headed up the vice president’s security detail. Rendine is convinced the vice president was murdered and needs Brixton’s investigative expertise to find out why.

In Israel, meanwhile, legendary anti-terrorist fighter Lia Ganz launches her own crusade against the perpetrators of the attack. Ganz’s trail will ultimately take her to Washington where she joins forces with Brixton.

The connection between the murder of the vice president and the terrorist attacks lies in the highest corridors of power in Washington where a deadly plot has been hatched. With the clock ticking toward doomsday, Brixton and Ganz race against time to save millions of American lives.

“A spectacular international thriller of intrigue and conspiracy that I could . . . not . . . put . . . down.” —Mark Greaney, New York Times–bestselling author of The Gray Man
