Více o knize

*NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* This “outstanding” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) thriller features a brilliant and unconventional Army investigator, his enigmatic female partner, and their pursuit of the Army’s most notorious deserter. Captain Kyle Mercer of the elite Delta Force vanished in Afghanistan, with a video from his Taliban captors making headlines. The situation was unclear: Had Mercer deserted before capture? A second video confirmed he had willfully disappeared, raising alarms about the trained assassin and keeper of classified intelligence. A year later, Mercer is spotted in Caracas, Venezuela, by an old Army buddy, prompting top military officials to assign Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor from the Criminal Investigation Division to retrieve him—preferably alive. Brodie faces challenges not only from the mission's complexity and his partner’s inexperience but also from their undeniable chemistry and his growing suspicion that Taylor may be reporting to the CIA. With its ripped-from-the-headlines appeal, exotic locale, and signature twists and humor, this marks the beginning of a thrilling new series from the #1 New York Times bestseller and his award-winning screenwriter son.
