Publisher's summary

NOMINATED FOR THE ANTHONY AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL

After a terrorist attack strikes San Francisco, FBI Special Agent Charlie Thompson calls in a former cover ops man and a young tech whiz to kickstart a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase.

If the good guys can't save you, call a bad guy.

When viral video of an explosive terrorist attack on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge reveals that a Federal witness long thought dead is still alive, the organization he'd agreed to testify against will stop at nothing to put him in the ground.

FBI Special Agent Charlie Thompson is determined to protect him, but her hands are tied; the FBI's sole priority is catching the terrorists before they strike again. So Charlie calls the only person on the planet who can keep her witness safe: Michael Hendricks.

Once a covert operative for the US military, Hendricks makes his living hitting hitmen . . . or he did, until the very organization hunting Charlie's witness—the Council—caught wind and targeted the people he loves. Teaming up with a young but determined tech whiz, Cameron, on the condition she leave him alone after the case, Hendricks reluctantly takes the job.

Of course, finding a man desperate to stay hidden is challenging enough without deadly competition, let alone when the competition's shadowy corporate backer is tangled in the terrorist conspiracy playing out around them. And now Hendricks is determined to take the Council down, even if that means wading into the center of a terror plot whose perpetrators are not what they seem.

Critic reviews

One of the Best Books of 2016—The Boston Globe

"A one-sitting, extravagant, mind-blowing reading pleasure. Chris Holm has created a story of rare, compelling brilliance, with a concept so high you'll need oxygen to finish it."—David Baldacci

"In his second Michael Hendricks thriller, Holm performs authorial acrobatics, elegantly and nimbly leaping between various locations and voices to produce not just a suspenseful tale kicked off by a San Francisco terrorist attack, but one imbued with multiple fine characters to boot."—The Boston Globe

"Thumbs up, we say. Thumbs up, then lick those thumbs and use them to turn the pages—quickly now, to find out what happens next."—Wayne Alan Brenner, Austin Chronicle

New narrator ruined it

I really enjoyed the first book and looked forward to this book. However, the new narrator ruined the book for me.

So Spastic

Random story lines that didn't seem to fit very well together. It was disappointing. Narration was on point, though.

Stumbled on this

Connected and couldn’t put it down. As a native San Franciscan, it drew me right into the Presidio and GG bridge, the characters and the questionable individuals.
