"McFate just might be the next Tom Clancy, only I think he's even
better... The action is non-stop and shuttles back and forth between
scary-believable and rollicking good fun. I read High Treason during a
six-hour plane ride and the trip went by like the snap of my fingers."
--James Patterson
In this pulse-pounding action thriller perfect for fans of Brad Thor
and David Baldacci, Tom Locke must stop dark forces working to overthrow
the president
En route to the National Prayer Breakfast, the U.S. vice president's
motorcade is hit in a vicious, expertly planned attack that throws
Washington, DC, into chaos. Everyone assumes it's terrorists-- everyone
but young FBI agent Jennifer Lin. She is certain that the easy answers
here are not the likely ones. . . . Half a world away, former military
contractor Tom Locke has his own doubts about what happened--and who did
it. He suspects his former employer, Apollo Outcomes. But why would the
global private military corporation orchestrate such a brutal strike on
U.S. soil?
Returning to DC, Locke teams with Lin and discovers that a civil war is
secretly brewing in the military-contracting world. A division of one
company has gone rogue, led by a power-hungry former colleague of
Locke's who may have planned the attack on the vice president himself.
But this man couldn't have pulled it off without help from inside the
government. The VP's itinerary and route were confidential--which means
there must be a traitor high up in either the White House or the NSA who
is leaking information.
But why? And who could be pulling the strings? Radical Islamic
terrorists? Or is this a new ploy by Putin to subvert American
leadership? Or is someone else behind the attack? Only Locke can get to
the bottom of the conspiracy--and blow it apart with one bold strike
before it's too late.
"High Treason has brutal assassinations, shocking betrayals, even
heated gun battles in the shadow of the White House. It had me
breathless--from the sheer audacity of its storytelling to its breakneck
pacing. It's not to be missed!" --James Rollins, #1 New York Times
