The highly anticipated follow-up to Brad Meltzer's #1 New York
Times bestselling thriller. The Escape Artist featuring Nola and Zig,
the most charismatic new crime-solving duo we've seen in decades.
Archie Mint has led a charmed life--he's got a beautiful wife, two
impressive kids, and a successful military career. When he's killed
while trying to stop a robbery in his own home, his family is
shattered--and then shocked when the other shoe drops. Mint's charmed
life, so perfect on the surface, held criminal secrets none of them
could have imagined.
While working on Mint's body before his funeral, mortician "Zig"
Zigarowski discovers something he was never meant to see. That telling
detail leads him to Dover Air Force Base, where he uncovers Mint's
involvement in a top-secret military unit and his connection to military
artist and Sergeant First Class Nola Brown. Two years ago, Nola saved
Zig's life--so he knows better than most that she's as volatile and
dangerous as a bolt of lightning.
Everyone wants to talk to Nola, but she's not cooperating--and indeed
doesn't want to be found. In order to track her down, Zig teams with
Nola's long missing brother, who's just as combustible as she is. As
they follow Nola's trail, they discover one of the U.S. government's
most intensely guarded secrets--an undisclosed military facility that
dates back to the Cold War and holds the key to something far more
sinister: a hidden group willing to compromise the very safety and
security of America itself.
Watch out for the lightning rod. She's dangerous.
