The author weaves military grit, cyber-espionage, and Southern noir into a seamless tapestry that keeps you guessing until the very last page." - Thriller Monthly "An expertly plotted, character-driven thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last line. The author's command of atmosphere, whether in the humid streets of Jackson or the icy corridors of a Swiss vault, is nothing short of spectacular." - The Crime & Mystery Review, 5-star rating
