Brad Thor

a thriller

In a safe house near the Syrian border, a clandestine U.S. operations team readies to launch a mission targeting the director of social media for Daesh, Abu Muslim al-Naser. But the house is attacked before the team can launch, and the bloody aftermath unleashes a political PR nightmare centered around how the intel for the raid was developed and how it leaked. Scot Harvath--half spy, half covert counterterrorism operative, employee of a private intelligence agency contracted by the CIA and Department of Defense--originally pinpointed the director. Now with the weight of the attack on his shoulders and scapegoated by Congress, Scot seeks answers to how Daesh could have learned of the U.S. mission and its safe house. But as he nears the truth, he uncovers a rogue player who's bent on forcing the U.S.?s hand and drawing it into a more dangerous plot than anyone in D.C. has imagined
