After a series of terrorist attacks rock the globe, a team of high-level investigators set out to find the attackers, stop the chaos, and restore justice. The varied targets of the attacks make it difficult to assign motives, predict the next moves, and prevent further mayhem. Attacks occur at the Vatican, Jerusalem, West Point, a revered mosque, and strategic oil fields, with hundreds of thousands killed, the oil supply contaminated, and radiation poisoning spreading. But with combined international forces using advanced technical and forensic analysis, the unlikely perpetrators are discovered, and the world must contend with the ramifications of old wars, refugee displacement, and the legacy of suffering.
Hubbard's assembled team of investigators brings an array of talents and skill sets as they pursue the who, why, and how of the attacks. The behind-the-scenes machinations of a global investigation keep this thriller pumping through the exhaustive search for answers. The scenes and scenarios rotate quickly, which keeps the pace moving despite the sprawling story and plentiful keen-eyed details. The investigators discuss, debate, run simulations and reenactments, and follow clues on the ground, which keeps everyone guessing about what might happen next and who is to blame. The result is a masterclass in investigative acumen, psychological insight, and global coordination.
