Synopsis

With each riveting new thriller, author G. M. Ford garners more critical praise for the breakneck, revved-up, nonstop style that has catapulted him into the upper echelon of contemporary crime writers. Now he returns with his most harrowing novel to date—based on an incredible but true unsolved case—as he plunges his dark and complex protagonist, disgraced journalist Frank Corso, into a lethal morass of revenge and conspiracy.The nightmare began a year ago with the curious and unfortunate death of a delivery driver—blown to pieces. With a little prodding from the media, the terror spread, burning a bloody swath from East Coast to West.Bodies are piling up as a series of deadly bank robberies rocks the L.A. area. Where federal agencies see nothing but the random hand of a bomb-tossing lunatic, rogue journalist turned bestselling author Frank Corso sees the tracks of something more sinister—something with a motive and a message. And it's not going away.Forced to work within the system, Corso and research assistant, Chris Andriatta, are never-theless ready to pull out all the stops to halt a time bomb of terror. But the closer they come to a maniac, the more a shocking and devastating truth comes to light—that the fuse to the horror that has killed many times over and will kill many times more may have been inadvertently lit by Frank Corso himself.G.M. Ford delivers an edge-of-your-seat thriller that's gritty, harrowing, timely, and explosive—as past and present, fact and fiction crash head-on. You will be...blown away.
