Sam Dryden lives quietly in a small coastal town in southern California, buying and fixing up old houses. It's good physical work that he's come to love. But his peaceful life is shattered when he gets a phone call from an old friend in trouble. A phone call that pulls Dryden into the middle of a situation that's as violent as it is baffling.
For FBI agent Marnie Calvert, it all begins at a secluded trailer in the Mojave Desert-the scene of a horrifying crime, but also of an impossible and mysterious act of heroism. At least, it should have been impossible. Determined to learn the truth, what Calvert discovers leads her to Sam Dryden-an ex-Special Forces operative whose ordinary life has suddenly become anything but.
Through their actions, Dryden and Calvert have unknowingly placed themselves in the cross-hairs of a frightening and dangerous enemy, the result of a generations-long conspiracy finally coming to fruition. What these people have is a technology that allows them to affect events before they even happen. How they are planning to use it, however, will result in the death of millions. To defeat them, Dryden will need to do more than think fast-he'll need to think around corners, and face down an enemy that can seize on his mistakes before he even makes them.
Following the national bestseller Runner, Sam Dryden, Patrick Lee's most indelible creation, returns in one of the most compelling, breathless thrillers yet---Signal.

“Two books into this series, and it’s clear that Lee has hit the jackpot. He’s combined a Lee Child–like ability to build momentum in an instant and keep it going…with a nose for premises that run right up to the point of disbelief without quite diving over the edge (it helps that there’s always a whiff of science supporting the craziness). Expect the horde of out-of-breath [listeners] gasping to keep up with Lee’s breakneck pace to keep growing exponentially with each new appearance of Sam Dryden.”

Patrick Lee was born and raised in west Michigan. He spent four and a half years at a two-year college and wishes he was kidding about that. In his twenties, he sold two screenplays to film studios in Los Angeles, but neither was produced. Who’d have guessed that a modern retelling of Lysistrata, set in a maximum-security prison, would fail to get a greenlight? In his early thirties, Patrick made the jump to writing novels, managed to get the coolest agent in the business, and is now the proud author of several published works.
