Perfect for fans of Brad Thor, David Baldacci, and Vince Flynn, this mass market paperback edition plunges you into a complex web of conspiracy, betrayal, and relentless action that will keep you guessing until the very last page. When the Vice President's motorcade is ambushed in a meticulously planned attack on the way to the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, D.C., descends into chaos. While the nation grapples with the immediate assumption of a terrorist act, young FBI agent Jennifer Lin senses that the obvious answers are far from the truth. Her instincts tell her that a deeper, more sinister plot is at play, one that reaches into the very heart of American power. Half a world away, Tom Locke, a former military contractor haunted by his past, shares Lin's skepticism. Locke suspects his former employer, Apollo Outcomes, a powerful global private military corporation, but struggles to understand their motive. Why would they orchestrate such a brazen assault on U.S. soil? Locke's suspicion draws him back to the nation's capital, where he reluctantly joins forces with Agent Lin. Together, Locke and Lin delve into a clandestine war brewing within the shadows of the military-contracting world. They uncover a rogue faction, led by a ruthless, power-hungry ex-colleague of Locke's, who may be the mastermind behind the attack. But this conspiracy is far too elaborate to be executed alone. Locke and Lin realize that a high-ranking traitor within the government, perhaps even within the White House or the NSA, is feeding vital information to the enemy. As they race against time to unravel the conspiracy, Locke and Lin face a chilling question: who is pulling the strings? Are they dealing with radical Islamic terrorists seeking to destabilize the nation? Is Vladimir Putin orchestrating a sophisticated maneuver to undermine American leadership? Or is there an even more insidious force at work, one with a personal vendetta and a devastating agenda? Tom Locke, with his unique skills and unwavering determination, is the only one who can expose the truth and prevent a catastrophic collapse of American security.
