A Novel of the War on Terror

Produktbeschreibung

A terrorist takedown in the Philippines and a criminal investigation on the other side of the world put Special Forces operators Ed Storey and Lee Troy and FBI Special Agent Beth Royale on the track of an Al Qaeda plot to kill the US president on an overseas trip. With action racing across the globe from Bangkok to Pakistan, the evidence eventually points to a terrorist attack on US soil-and an entirely different target. Washington, DC, was burned to the ground during the War of 1812. Unless the three agents move fast, it might just happen again.
