Description

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.
