Rising Phoenix and Storming Heaven


Book Description

Here, in one volume, are the two extraordinary novels that first introduced maverick FBI Special Agent Mark Beamon to readers coast-to-coast, and rocketed Kyle Mills into the upper echelon of thriller writers. Ingenious page-turning tales of conspiracy and terror, they remain as spellbinding, blood-chilling, timely, and relentlessly exciting as when they first appeared in print -- fulfilling Frederick Forsyth's prophecy that "Kyle Mills will soon be a very big player." Rising Phoenix: A shadowy right-wing organization is flooding America's emergency rooms with the dead and dying, and FBI Agent Mark Beamon must stop the slaughter and its mastermind . . . who may be a former law enforcement colleague. Storming Heaven: The brutal murder of a local millionaire and his wife sends agent Mark Beamon into the dark world of a powerful cult . . . and into the heart of a terrifying conspiracy that could bring America to her knees.

Teamed with an icily efficient female field agent, he is given the thankless task of stopping the slaughter--even though millions of Americans secretly approve of it!
