"When quiet, unassuming Jessica Hilyard mysteriously disappears, Kylie Hatfield promises Jessica's sister she'll find her. So what if she's technically just the office assistant at Starr Investigations? It's the perfect opportunity to prove to her boss she has what it takes to become a real private investigator. But when the evidence starts to link Jessica's disappearance to a dangerous serial killer, everyone warns Kylie to back off the case--the police, her boss, and Linc Coulter, the maddeningly sexy ex-soldier who's training (or trying to train) her nutty Newfoundland dog, Vader, and making Kylie crazy in the process. But nothing's going to stop Kylie from becoming a full-fledged private investigator...not even the threat of an unexpected murderer, who wants to take more than just her life."--Amazon.

No one knows who may be the next threat in this “action-packed” thriller by the New York Times-bestselling author of National Security (Publishers Weekly). From coast to coast, our nation is witnessing a new wave of terror. Suicide bombers incite blind panic and paralyzing fear. A flight attendant tries to crash an airliner. A police officer opens fire on fans in a stadium. And at CIA headquarters, a Deputy Director goes on a murderous rampage. The perpetrators appear to be American—but they are covert agents in a vast network of terror, selected and trained for one purpose only: the complete annihilation of America. Special Agent Jericho Quinn has seen the warning signs. As a classified “instrument” of the CIA reporting directly to the president, Quinn knows that these random acts of violence pose a clear and present danger. But Quinn may not be able to stop it. The search for terrorists has escalated into an all-out witch hunt. And somehow, Quinn's name is on the list… “Quinn is most definitely one of the best characters in the thriller realm.”—Suspense Magazine
