The New York
Times bestselling author's ever-popular hero, Jack
Swyteck, is on his most dangerous case yet, uncovering a
sinister underground world that has him racing across the
globe.
Then: Sergeant Vince Paulo held his best friend's daughter,
McKenna, bleeding in his arms as she uttered the name of
her murderer and ex-boyfriend, Jamal. That was minutes
before a blast made everything go black for Vince—forever.
Now: Miami criminal defense lawyer Jack Swyteck has been
called in to save Jamal from the death penalty for
terrorist activity. Despite urgent warnings from his
fiancÉe, undercover FBI agent Andie Henning, to stay away
from the case, Jack finds himself inextricably drawn to
Jamal's past—even believing his alibi that he was abducted
and held in a black site in Prague at the time of McKenna's
death. But if Jamal is innocent, then the man who murdered
McKenna and took Vince's sight is still out there . . .
free.
Soon bodies begin to pile up and ghosts from the past
reappear very much alive, confirmed by ominous threats from
a faceless man known only as "the Dark." Vince and Jack
must confront a mortal danger that goes beyond McKenna's
death, across international waters—a journey to piece
together the past that leads through the back alleys of
London, onto illegal Internet sites, and straight into the
mind of pure evil.
