A terrorist bent on revenge. Nations on the brink. Can Nick Parkos stop a deadly fanatic before thousands are killed by his unrelenting wrath?

Nick Parkos is a low-level intelligence analyst when a shocking twist thrusts him to the forefront. All at once he’s the man best qualified to deal with a dire threat to the stability of the entire world. Bashir al-Khulyter, seeking revenge for his family’s deaths by Russian paramilitary troops, detonates a dirty bomb in Moscow’s Red Square—and threatens to deploy four more bombs in the near future. With the world’s capitals on red alert, Parkos must find and stop al-Khultyer before thousands are killed and entire cities are contaminated.

While dealing with powerful personal demons, Parkos follows a cryptic trail across three continents and eleven cities, hoping he can somehow prevent additional brutal and merciless deaths. But Bashir has more lethal surprises planned than Parkos can anticipate. The first bomb killed thousands—and the next could destabilize fragile peace in the world’s most treacherous regions.
