Thriller
In Daniel Palmerβs electrifying, brilliantly plotted new thriller, a private school campus becomes a battleground as a desperate father takes on a terrifying enemyβ¦. When Jake Dentβs dreams of baseball glory fell apart in a drunk-driving incident, his marriage did too. In those dark days, a popular survivalist blog helped to restore Jakeβs sense of control. Heβs become an avid Doomsday Prepper, raising his diabetic son, Andy, to be ready for any sudden catastrophe. Andy, now a student at the prestigious Pepperell Academy where Jake works as a custodian, has a secretβheβs part of a computer club that redistributes money from the obscenely wealthy to the needy. Usually, their targets donβt even realize theyβve been hacked. But this time, theyβve stolen from the wrong people: a vicious drug cartel that is coming to get its money backβ¦ Staging a chemical truck spill as a distraction, the cartel infiltrates the Academy, taking Andy and his friends hostage one by one. Jake, hidden inside the schoolβs abandoned tunnels, knows that soon the killing will start. With his training, and a stockpile of weapons and supplies, heβs the last, best hope these studentsβincluding his sonβhave of getting out alive. But survival is no longer an abstract concept. Itβs a violent, brutal struggle that will test Jake to the limit, where there are no rules and no second chancesβ¦
