"Nola is the most accomplished kicker of ass since The Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo." --A. J. Finn
Zig and Nola are back--in the hugely entertaining, highly anticipated
follow-up to Brad Meltzer's #1 New York Times bestselling thriller
The Escape Artist.
What's the one secret no one knows about you?
Archie Mint has a secret. He's led a charmed life--he's got a beautiful
wife, two impressive kids, and a successful military career. But 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 been
hiding 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 Mint's former top secret military unit and his
connection to artist 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.
Following Nola's trail, he uncovers 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.
Trouble always finds her...
She's the lightning rod.
