Veteran CIA officer Max Waller has long been obsessed with
the abduction and murder of his Agency mentor. Though years
of digging yield the name of a suspect—an Iranian math
genius turned terrorist—the trail seems too cold to justify
further effort. Then Max turns up a photograph of the man
standing alongside Osama bin Laden and a mysterious
westerner whose face has been cut out, feeding Max’s
suspicion. When the first official to whom Max shows the
photo winds up dead, the out-of-favor agent suddenly finds
himself the target of dark forces within the intelligence
community who are desperate to muzzle him. Eluding a global surveillance net, Max—in the summer of
2001—begins tracking the spore of a complex conspiracy,
meeting clandestinely with suicide bombers and Arab royalty
and ultimately realizing the Iranian he’d sought for a
decades-old crime is actually at the nexus of a terrifying plot. Showing off dazzling tradecraft and an array of richly
textured backdrops, and filled with real names and events,
Blow the House Down deftly balances fact and possibility to
become the first great thriller to spring from the war on
terrorism.
