Mayberry and Garrett, introduced in the national bestseller
Collusion**, are caught in the middle of a deadly crisis with a
pending nuclear bomb attack and little help from the government that
sidelined them both.**
When an exiled Iranian scientist is assassinated in Washington, DC, the
former FBI counterintelligence agent and ex-SEAL are pulled back into
the world of clandestine ops--and the fate of the entire East Coast is
at stake. Joining ranks with a heralded Mossad agent, Mayberry and
Garrett pursue a skilled international killer hired to murder a
legendary Israeli spymaster.
Their pursuit draws them into an international conspiracy led by a
power-hungry Russian oligarch intent on destroying Washington, DC, and
the Navy's most important Atlantic base. The oligarch plots to unleash a
nuclear onslaught first devised by the KGB but shelved by Kremlin
leaders during the Cold War. On top of this, Iran's sudden offer to help
the United States raises suspicions about its possible role in a global
shakedown.
With too many enemies emerging and too little time, the two Americans
are forced to operate outside official channels to stay ahead of naive
US politicians and foreign enemies out to entangle their efforts in red
tape. Operating in an international tinderbox, Mayberry and Garrett must
decipher which players are allies and which are posers--in time to
thwart a cataclysmic nuclear attack on US soil and prevent an
international incident that could ignite a third world war. And they
must keep themselves alive.
