**A New York Times Bestseller**
Former Special Forces Officer and New York Times bestselling author
Brad Taylor delivers a heart-pounding thriller featuring Taskforce
operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill as they come face to face with
a conspiracy where nothing is as it seems.
Hot on the trail of a North Korean looking to sell sensitive US
intelligence to the Syrian regime, Pike Logan and the Taskforce stumble
upon something much graver: the sale of a lethal substance called Red
Mercury.
Unbeknownst to the Taskforce, the Syrians plan to use the weapon of mass
destruction against American and Kurdish forces, and blame the attack on
terrorists, causing western nations to reassess their participation in
the murky cauldron of the Syrian civil war.
Meanwhile, North Korea has its own devastating agenda: a double-cross
that will dwarf the attack in Syria even as it lays the blame on the
Syrian government. Leveraging Switzerland's fame for secrecy and its
vast network of military bunkers, now repurposed by private investors
for the clandestine storage of wealth, North Korea will use Red Mercury
to devastate the West's ability to deliver further sanctions against the
rogue regime.
As the Taskforce begins to unravel the plot, a young refugee unwittingly
holds the key to the conspiracy. Hunted across Europe for reasons she
cannot fathom, she is the one person who can stop the attack--if she can
live long enough for Pike and Jennifer to find her.
