Howard Gordon—the longtime executive producer of the hit TV series 24—makes his fiction debut with a tale of political intrigue and international terrorism.

So Gideon enlists his brother, Tillman—newly sprung from prison through a presidential pardon—as an undercover operative to infiltrate a group of white supremacists who may be involved.
