Publisher Description
A fifteen-year member of the FBI who received its coveted Medal of Bravery, former agent Christopher Whitcomb electrified readers with his breathtaking memoir, Cold Zero. Now his remarkable past and hard-edged prose illuminate his highly acclaimed first thriller... Selected for the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue 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 company: a beautiful executive more adept at murder than marketing who turns his assignment into a cipher...a ruthless 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...

"This excellent novel is exciting until a rushed and anticlimactic ending. Whitcomb could have and should have ended this better. Nonetheless, 8 of 10 stars"

" Intriguing although there were a number of plots to try to keep straight. I sort of got lost when they finally all came together and the ending left me hanging. I felt abandoned at the end and was asking myself what really happened. "

" I liked this book but there were a lot of sub-plots running around in the story until the end when they all came together. The bad thing about that was that I had my favorite plots that I wanted to read but then there kept being all those other plots in there that I didn't care much about! "
