A simple mix up throws one innocent man into the
crosshairs of sinister government secrets and ruthless
political ambitions in New York Times bestselling
author Joseph Finder’s timely, electrifying new thriller.
Michael Tanner is on his way home from a business trip when
he accidentally picks up the wrong MacBook in an airport
security line. He doesn’t notice the mix-up until he arrives
home in Boston, but by then it’s too late. Tanner’s
curiosity gets the better of him when he discovers that the
owner is a US senator and that the laptop contains top
secret files.
When Senator Susan Robbins realizes she’s come back with the
wrong laptop, she calls her young chief of staff, Will
Abbott, in a panic. Both know that the senator broke the law
by uploading classified documents onto her personal
computer. If those documents wind up in the wrong hands, it
could be Snowden 2.0—and her career in politics will be
over. She needs to recover the MacBook before it’s too late.
When Will fails to gain Tanner’s cooperation, he is forced
to take measures to retrieve the laptop before a bigger
security breach is revealed. He turns to an unscrupulous
“fixer” for help. In the meantime, the security agency
whose files the senator has appropriated has its own
methods, darker still—and suddenly Tanner finds himself a
hunted man, on the run, terrified for the safety of his
family, in desperate need of a plan, and able to trust no
one.
