From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille comes a
suspenseful new novel featuring Detective John Corey and an
all-too-plausible conspiracy to detonate a nuclear bomb in two major
American cities.
Welcome to the Custer Hill Club--an informal men's club set in a
luxurious Adirondack hunting lodge whose members include some of
America's most powerful business leaders, military men, and government
officials. Ostensibly, the club is a place to gather with old friends,
hunt, eat, drink, and talk off-the-record about war, life, death, sex
and politics. But one Fall weekend, the Executive Board of the Custer
Hill Club gathers to talk about the tragedy of 9/11 and what America
must do to retaliate. Their plan is finalized and set into motion.
That same weekend, a member of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force is
reported missing. His body is soon discovered in the woods near the
Custer Hill Club's game reserve. The death appears to be a hunting
accident, and that's how the local police first report it, but Detective
John Corey has his doubts. As he digs deeper, he begins to unravel a
plot involving the Custer Hill Club, a top-secret plan known only by its
code name: Wild Fire. Racing against the clock, Detective Corey and his
wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, find they are the only people in a
position to stop the button from being pushed and chaos from being
unleashed.
