     As a storm rages across the Mediterranean Sea, a terrifying distress call is made to the Italian Coast Guard. Days later, a body washes ashore.  Identified as a high-value terrorism suspect (who had disappeared three years earlier), his name sends panic through the Central Intelligence Agency.

     Where was he headed? What was he planning? And could he be connected to the “spectacular attack” they have been fearing?

     In a race against time, the CIA taps an unorthodox source to get answers: Navy SEAL turned covert counterterrorism operative, Scot Harvath. Harvath will provide the deniability the United States needs, while he breaks every rule along the way.

     Packed with pulse-pounding action, fascinating characters, and electrifying intrigue, Brad Thor does it again and proves why he is known around the world as the “Master of Thrillers.”
