Selected for the FBI's elite Hostage Rescure 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 copmany: a beautiful executive more adept at murder than marketing who turns his assignment into a cipher...a rutherless 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.
