High Treason: A Novel (Tom Locke Series #3) [9780062843661]

Overview

“McFate
just might be the next Tom Clancy, only I think he’s even better... The action
is non-stop and shuttles back and forth between scary-believable and rollicking
good fun. I read High Treason during a six-hour plane ride and the trip
went by like the snap of my fingers.” —James Patterson

In this pulse-pounding action thriller perfect
for fans of Brad Thor and David Baldacci,
Tom Locke must stop dark forces working to
overthrow the president

En route to the National Prayer Breakfast, the
U.S. vice president’s motorcade is hit in a vicious,
expertly planned attack that throws Washington,
DC, into chaos. Everyone assumes it’s terrorists—
everyone but young FBI agent Jennifer Lin. She is certain
that the easy answers here are not the likely ones. . . . Half
a world away, former military contractor Tom Locke
has his own doubts about what happened—and who did
it. He suspects his former employer, Apollo Outcomes.
But why would the global private military corporation
orchestrate such a brutal strike on U.S. soil?

Returning to DC, Locke teams with Lin and
discovers that a civil war is secretly brewing in the
military-contracting world. A division of one company
has gone rogue, led by a power-hungry former colleague
of Locke’s who may have planned the attack on the vice
president himself. But this man couldn’t have pulled it
off without help from inside the government. The VP’s
itinerary and route were confidential—which means there
must be a traitor high up in either the White House or the
NSA who is leaking information.

But why? And who could be pulling the strings?
Radical Islamic terrorists? Or is this a new ploy by Putin
to subvert American leadership? Or is someone else
behind the attack? Only Locke can get to the bottom of
the conspiracy—and blow it apart with one bold strike
before it’s too late.

“High Treason has
brutal assassinations, shocking betrayals, even heated gun battles in the
shadow of the White House. It had me breathless—from the sheer audacity of its
storytelling to its breakneck pacing.
It’s not to be missed!” —James Rollins, #1 New
York Times bestselling author of The Last Odyssey
