The story

What it's about

Counterterrorist operative Jennifer Steele is back.

Still mourning a family tragedy, and torn over her future with the CIA as a special operative, she carries the weight of keeping New York City and its people safe.

Walter Blair takes readers back inside the lives of the people who give everything to protect them.

“Fiction doesn't get more real than this.”
