Assassins have eliminated a Chechen scientist who's been working as a double agent for the U.S. government. The feds know who to call: Jonathan Grave and his elite rescue team. Their mission: find the dead man's teenage son, who's on the run—and off the grid—with crucial information that must not fall into the wrong hands. There's one problem: the boy's bodyguard is a security specialist with unusual talents, and she's not giving up without a fight. Only by bringing them both back alive can Grave expose the traitor in the highest levels of power—and prevent an all-out nuclear war. Praise for John Gilstrap "Gilstrap pushes every thriller button."—San Francisco Chronicle "A great hero, a really exciting series."—Joseph Finder "When you pick up a Gilstrap novel, one thing is always true—you are going to be entertained at a high rate of speed."—Suspense Magazine
