About this ebook
“Super-high stakes, super-high concept, and super-charged action. This propulsive spy thriller changes all the rules—it will have you holding your breath until you discover the final shocking truth. Jeff Gunhus is a terrific talent.”
—Hank Phillippi Ryan, national bestselling author of The Murder List
A father charged with treason. A daughter sent to kill him. A shocking conspiracy that changes all the rules of the spy game for a new generation . . .
With more than a dozen kills under her belt, ex-Marine Mara Roberts is one of the Agency’s most reliable assassins. But her latest target—a convicted traitor about to be released from prison—is different than her other marks. He’s a former agent who betrayed his country. He’s responsible for the death of Mara’s mother. And he happens to be Mara’s father . . .
Scott Roberts knows that his daughter was sent to kill him. He realizes he has only one chance to change her mind, to convince her that he’s been framed for treason—and that every member of their family are pawns to be sacrificed, one by one. Mara isn’t sure she can trust her father. He is a master of manipulation, as ruthless as he is resourceful. But when her nephew is abducted, she agrees to follow Scott’s lead and expose the global elites who are pulling the strings. But first, they must infiltrate the highest levels of power. Then, they must attempt the unthinkable: Kidnap the President of the United States . . .
“A brilliantly written thriller. Breakneck twists, political intrigue and bristling action scenes—Jeff Gunhus writes with a gripping and gritty authority.”
—Simon Gervais, author of Hunt Them Down

What I liked: * Mara: tough cookie who knew what her priorities and truths were...or thought she did. * Two men in the story that I won’t name BUT will say that I thoroughly admired by the end of the book * The twists and turns I did not see coming * The writing * The plot and pace of the story * Not wanting to say goodbye to the characters when I read the last page What I did not like: * The people and group I was meant not to like * The fact that some people can be so brainwashed or deluded in believing the things they sometimes do * What those deluded people, just mentioned, are willing to do to further their aims Did I like this book? I really did Would I read more by this author/in this series? As soon as I can! Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
