"Excellent. Another winner from an excellent author." according to Carolyn J.. Another excellent book by David Baldacci. So many of his books have twist and turns and you can't just put the book down until you've finished. This books is no exception in the story of Web London, a member of an elite HRT team coming upon a drug bust that goes horribly wrong with all members of Web's team dead except himself who froze.

Now Web is trying to put his life back together and understand what really happened. Web London was trained to penetrate hostile ground and come out alive. To get answers, he'll need the help of psychiatrist Claire Daniels and the one other human being who lived through the attack - a ten-year-old boy.
