Atlas Drummond: Fragments of Deceit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995928058)

Some truths are worth killing for. Some are worth dying for. Atlas Drummond is about to learn which is which.

Atlas Drummond walked into McGinty's Bar on a rainy Thursday night trying to forget his problems. A failed marriage. Two kids he barely sees. A career in Navy intelligence that ended badly, leaving him working security at a strip mall and pretending it was enough.

Then Hollis Brooks sat down beside him - a woman whose father had been murdered under circumstances no one wanted to explain - and Atlas's quiet ruin of a life ended in a single conversation.

Her father had been investigating Project Genesis, an illegal genetic research program that had already killed over two hundred people. Atlas's own father had been investigating the same program. Now both men are dead, Atlas's family has been kidnapped, and a faceless billion-dollar conspiracy has given him forty-eight hours to hand over evidence he doesn't have - or watch everyone he loves disappear.

To get them back, Atlas will have to become the soldier he used to be. The one he buried after the divorce. The one who knew how to track, how to disappear, how to kill when there was no other way. He'll need every skill he ever had, and a few friends he wasn't sure he still deserved.

But the people behind Project Genesis aren't afraid of soldiers. They've been buying them, breaking them, and burying them for decades. And they're not about to let one washed-up Navy intel officer take them apart.

Atlas Drummond: Fragments of Deceit is a relentless conspiracy thriller about fathers and sons, the cost of second chances, and the brutal arithmetic of getting your family back when the people who took them count their losses in zeros.

For readers of Brad Thor, Lee Child, and Daniel Silva.
