Book Description

Two women are taken -- and the world is held hostage. "[A] very detailed and well-plotted piece of work with plenty of twists and turns ... It's a terrific piece of work" --MICHAEL ROWLEY Editor of The Martian "Impressive ... one of the best ... [a] real page turner. I felt compelled to get to the end just to see what happens, and that's rarer than you might think in this line of work." --SCRIBENDI Mark Jensen is a nationally renowned trial lawyer whose life comes apart when his daughter and her best friend vanish from an upscale shopping mall, where their car was found with the key in the door. The police response is worse than disappointing--it almost seems as if they don't want the women found. Desperate, and unaccustomed to feeling so helpless, Jensen enlists the aid of the Brecht Group, whose resources include top forensics experts, cyber-warriors and elite former soldiers, including Roady Kenehan, a mythical figure in the special forces community who served in CIA's Special Activities Directorate. Using cutting-edge technology and superb investigative skills, Kenehan and the Brecht Group discover a threat of unimaginable proportions. Millions of lives are at stake; they may be the only ones who can prevent a global war. Fans of Stephen Hunter, Michael Connolly and Daniel Silva will enjoy the first in a new series about the adventures of Roady Kenehan and the Brecht Group. Vividly crafted characters, cutting edge science and pulse-pounding action make this book impossible to put down.
