Phil Broker’s latest adventure hits close to home, when he finds his estranged wife and daughter caught in a web of deception that may conceal a terrorist plot to bomb Minneapolis’s nuclear power plant
When Phil Broker’s estranged wife, Nina, and his daughter, Kit, disappeared months ago, he wasn’t surprised. Nina has a mysterious and dangerous job working for the government, and her work has taken her in harm’s way before. Broker sets out on a mission to find Nina and force her to choose between life as a soldier or a mother, and take Kit out of danger once and for all.
At the end of Vapor Trail, Broker learns that Kit has been abandoned by Nina at a motel in Langdon, North Dakota. But when he arrives, the situation is far more complicated than he imagined. Kit is, bizarrely, accompanied by a “babysitter” named Jane, who claims to be Nina’s estranged girlfriend. Buddy Yelton, a local legend and hopeless womanizer, has apparently taken up with Nina. But Buddy Yelton is no harmless local—he has hidden connections to the Aryan Nation, and possibly Middle Eastern terrorists as well. And two motel guests are equally mysterious—Broker can’t help thinking he remembers them as former GIs he knew back in Laos in ’72. Obviously, all is not as it appears—and more than Kit’s life is in danger—the fate of the entire Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro area is in Broker’s hands.

“Conway’s smooth growl of a voice, reminiscent of a chain-smoker’s, successfully captures the raw reality that the team is up against, making him the ideal narrator for this tale…His hardened tone even works for the story’s female characters…Conway’s intense yet quiet delivery is well-timed, confident and just as precise as Logan’s prose.”

“Great reading—a thriller that looks straight into the eye of the post-9/11 landscape, and never blinks.”
— John Sandford, #1 New York Times bestselling author“Hard-edged and gripping…The nuclear plot is ingenious and its final countdown is a nail-biter.”
— Washington Post“A hair-raising yarn that’s complicated, textured and artfully paced, building to a climax that’s almost unthinkable.”
